04/02/2002 Entry: "2-April-2002 -- True Random Number Service"

True Random Number Service -- "Random.org offers true random numbers to anyone on the internet." (Comments: The Introduction to Randomness and Random Numbers essay is worth reading if you are interested in this topic. From what I can tell random.org uses atmospheric noise to generate the initial seed. Other folks use radioactive decay. Note to self: Most random numbers are not truly random.)

At long last, a truly valuable service is being provided via the Internet! I can finally get rid of my coin collection.

One can only hope random.org doesn't go commercial and start charging us monthly fees.
