Think about it: any computer program (whether on a microcontroller, PC, VAX, Cray, or whatever) is just a list of instructions that the processor will always follow in the same way - therefore it can never be truly random!
The best you can ever do with software alone is a pseudo-random sequence. This has all been discussed ad nauseam before - just do the 'Search' |
