	Pseudorandom number generator - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The outputs of pseudorandom number generators are not truly random—they only approximate some of the properties of random numbers.
		While there have been attempts to generate "truly random" numbers, using hardware random number generators, pseudorandom numbers are a critical part of modern computing, from cryptography to the Monte Carlo method for simulating physical systems.
		However, it is possible to efficiently analyze the output of the Mersenne Twister and recognize the numbers as being non-random (as with the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm or an extension from it, such as the Reed-Sloane algorithm).

		A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is an algorithm that generates a sequence of numbers, the elements of which are approximately independent of each other.
		While "truly" random numbers can be generated using hardware random number generators, pseudorandom numbers are a critical part of modern computing, from cryptography to the Monte Carlo method for simulating physical systems.
		Careful mathematical analysis is required to ensure that the generated numbers are sufficiently "random;" as Robert R. Coveyou of Oak Ridge National Laboratory once titled an article, "The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance."

	English Matters Issue 8 - Plum Flowers Poetry of Witness Pseudorandom Poem Generator - Todd Pitt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This process for the generation of new witness poems was too tedious to continue doing manually and I sought to use computer programming as a way to have a computer do all that work for me, because I always prefer working smart, not hard.
		The estimated number of rapes that occurred during the event ranges between 20,000-80,000.
		The true numbers will never be known because many women were killed immediately after they were raped (to avoid “problems”), and never lived to tell their stories.
