Re: Curious use of cpunks list [Brian Carroll]
By far all reputable and objective polls, affirmed by Rushmore big heads Bruce Schneier and Glenn Greenwald, confirm online usage is totally schizophrenic, escapist, indolent, idle, pointless, still it far outdistances all alternatives in the race to maximize and deny blood doping, elbowing competitors, hiring fans to run naked on TV, lying recantations about never using self-loathing enhancers. Diagnosis: crypto dependency, cold dead hands, N =/ P, PK idolatry, carpal tunnel mentality, ego aerostated by panoptic auto-sphrincterism. Brian Carroll, occasionally self-titled Brain Carroll, is a very smart and polite gentleman who does not mind fools fooling themselves psychobabbling like paranormal tricyclists monomaniacal about can there ever be reliable RNGs.

That's as it should be.

That topic gets trolled or at least thoroughly beaten around the bush every year too. Some fodder is almost too perfect.

If we had good PRNGs everywhere, with lots of trustable physical entropy stirred in then nobody would care about talking about these. It would be boring, since a solved problem. Now show me a cryptographic quality PRNG with a few MBytes of internal state. Best, a whole robust family of them. See? That's some quality trolling, right there.
