Now I, a lurker for two months, am truelly confused! L. Deitweiler must be right. Surely one of you cyperpunk fellows could hack together a dongle with some kind of AD converter and buffer ram to gather a Truelly Random Bitstream off the environment every couple of milliseconds easier than this raindrop scheme or recording the fan, you're haviung me on!.

The raindrop scheme was (politely) laughed off. As for the fan recording scheme, it's a good make-do-with-what-you-already-have method, as opposed to buying and/or building a card. A 'simple AD converter' isn't so simple. Especially if you want to be sure you really have random noise and not something else that just looks random. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
