Random (Number) Information
Mark Mzyk | May 22, 2008
Today I happened to be looking into random number generators in PHP (and discovering they aren’t very good). In my quest I discovered two random number algorithms I didn’t know about. Not that I know a lot about random number algorithms, but these two seemed interesting and worth looking at, even if I’ll never need the information for anything else.
I’ve got to find a way to work Blum Blum Shub into something someday, just so I can bring that name up in conversation and watch as whomever I’m talking to thinks I’m bullshitting them.
