I think ur idea of generating a random number
with a seed will not be effective. The kernel comes up
with true random number generation by using the random
interaction of device drivers with the kernel. I think
that will be more effective than ur logic. It provides
true randomness and it av

Google for "Numerical recipes in C", it has a comp
As far as I understand the kernel generates random numbers gathering
data from several entropy sources, you will never get repetability
from there. Two options I know of:
1) The standard C library has the functions rand and random, wich
seems to have a decent distribution of the random numbers.
