Yes PERRYMOOSE (tm), this IS crypto related. The Hypothesis: Now....there oughta be a way to generate random numbers using the signal to noise ratio of just this very list! No, I'm not good at this sort of thing (we all know that) but it is there as a random variable, within a random variable. It's better than a clock for everyone gets messages differently. But you can change the s/n ratio and durations of s/n to generate the numbers on, so that it'd be pretty secure. Something to think about :) Love Always, Carol Anne -- Member Internet Society - Certified BETSI Programmer - Webmistress *********************************************************************** Carol Anne Braddock (cab8) carolann@censored.org 206.42.112.96 My Homepage The Cyberdoc *********************************************************************** ------------------ PGP.ZIP Part [017/713] ------------------- M8H,),S$8G>&.WP(8IRA`-M['+`Q%&_C"">5-F%LX@<_Q$;*P'',Q$Z/AA[8M MF=O0H+*%(-S%&>S%+FS&<LS%3(Q&#W1"<]2%`H^;,]^1C$'HBN8PX$4SYAU^ MPGD<Q0ZLA0D+,`MCT!LA**4M[-JPAK9F?40!AJ,CW"'%DR#:'9?Q)3[%<DQ` ------------------------------------------------------------- for next chunk to export --> http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/
