subject: Random number access on the i5

I do not believe that a computer can generate a random number. There,
I said it. Hopefully you can prove me wrong.

You can find a thread on this in the archives, with such heavyweights as
Leif Svalgaard hashing it out:
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200108/msg00371.html.

There's a reference in the thread to chapter 22 of Leif's book, but I'm
not sure if his site is still up anymore.
