Absolutely! PRNGs have their place, e.g., when one does want a repeatable sequence if given the same seed. For example, one would want that for Monte Carlo simulations where the computation needs to be repeatable. > It is not very difficult to write some code to find the seed for > printing a given word if you got some time to waste :) > > Here is one way. > > http://pastebin.ca/2350376 [...] Heh! Sounded like a fun exercise to do that, but was too busy to try.
