ps -laxww for randmoness?

How about using ps -laxww as a source of randomness?

Its a rather bad source. Operations of a computer system are suprisingly low on entropy. I'd guess that, if I needed to and had enough resources, I could break such a generator without more than a few months work, and even get the system to break it semi-automatic. No one here seems to think in terms of cryptanalysis and how people do it when they come up with their schemes. Perry
