I once read a nice skit from Dilbert. He was asked to give 3 random numbers, and he said "1,2,3"
It is funny. Geekly funny.
The other guy said "The problem with random, is that you never know if it is really random"
Hard to explain, but if you look at it, its quite simple. "Random" gives absolute freedom to choose whatever. In my opinion. Just like when Dilbert said "1,2 and 3" well who can say that it is not "random"
IT is a matter of mathematical probability.
Let's take a die(dice) with number 1-6. When you throw a die, this is called "randomly" getting a number. But there is still a chance you will get "2" at 3 consecutive throws.
Although slim, 2,2,2 can still be called random.
So my project is put on hold. Till i finish lunch. And get a proper randomization of properties.
