Re: A86: Re: A challenge or something
Even quantam mechanics follows a set of laws that, given enough information,
can be determined, and thus predicted. What makes this more "random" than
other methods is that predicting the generated numbers isn't really
possible/feasible for anyone to do.
And I _knew_ this looked familiar. It was on slashdot a while ago:
