I think he meant how do computers actually calucate them, because computers run solely on the basis of linearity, so for one to calculate an actual random number would be impossible.

Depends where you're from. If he's from Yorkshire like me, then that'd be the correct grammar round here.

Well, that depends on how the Motherboard chooses to generate one. Mine counts the number of electron running through pin 1 or something. It's wierd.

I think there was this guy who made a 600,000 bits random bits CD-ROM with a formula he created which creates truly random bits without any of that help.

At least, that's what I read in my maths book.

It's weird innit how you can change the history of the world. Like you could say "Hellog" instead of "Hello" and the Welsh would rule the world.

Or go 1 billion years back and fart, then all life would cease to exist except you, and you would die anyway of starvation.
