Is it within the scope of this task to use libraries and language features which provide random numbers derived from both hardware and software sources, or is the intent here to show a more low-level access to the underlying operating system itself? --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC) |

:I would say yes, if there is some hardware involved, so that the random numbers are not 100% "pseudo". The stress should be on random numbers. Just showing how to read from an arbitrary device is perhaps not very interesting. --[[User:Abu|Abu]] 14:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC) |
