Random Number Generator
This is interesting to me.
I dont care what anyone says. Im a computer science student, and as far as im concerned its impossible to make something completely random. If you made randomness the computer would go into a loop it cant get out of... or in simple terms... itwould crash... Because it would go on counting forever.
When you use the random number function thats in most programming languages the computer comes up with a set of numbers in the same order every time you restart it. This is because the numbers are taken from a massive matrix of numbers and the same process is always used to find them...
Anyway...
Sometimes online i think hands turn out too good to be true. But every time you question the randomness of the RNG they come up with some bumpth about independent people checking it.
Also on pkr.com they provide a link to the program they use for their random number generator. I'll have to check it but to be fair, I didnt understand it when i had a quick look.
I'll have to look carefully. Im pretty sure it will be the same as the RNG thats part of most programming languages... ie it always returns the same random numbers when its restarted.
