Academics Make Theoretical Breakthrough in Random Number Generation
What makes randomness so hard?  I had this crazy thought awhile back and wondering if it would work out:<p>Say you took a small disk shaped object like a hockey puck with a window on it and you filled it with sand.  50% white sand and 50% black sand.  Inside the puck would be blades that are attached to a motor and rotated slowly to constantly change the pattern.  The pattern formed in the window would be truly random wouldn't it?  You could mount this to a PCIE card with a camera...
