the method from l'Ecuyer is already used in the texas instruments graphic calculators. But they don't seem to have patented it (I don't know how to check that).
Anyway I agree to have more RNGs which can be useful for statistics simulations or kryptography. And I would like to know how one can play with the bacteria ;-) Alain PS did anyone receive the mail that I sent yesterday about syllogisms?
