Randomly determined, of or relating to a process or variable that has a probability distribution subject to statistical regularities but that cannot be predicted precisely.
A phenomenon of apparent movement in which a target image moving in one direction against a background of randomly moving elements causes those elements to appear to be moving in the same direction as the target.
Randomly accountable: failing to account for natural fluctuations in test scores could undermine the very idea of holding schools accountable for their efforts--or lack thereof.

 RFC 748 (rfc748) - Telnet randomly-lose option
The normal mode does not allow random lossage; therefore the system is not allowed to crash, mung user files, etc. If the server wants to provide random lossage, it must first ask for permission from the user by sending IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE.
Alternatively, the user could request the server to randomly lose, by sending IAC DO RANDOMLY-LOSE, and the server will either reply with IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE, meaning that it will then proceed to do some random lossage (garbaging disk files is recommended for an initial implementation).
Since this is implemented as a TELNET option, it is expected that servers which do not implement this option will not randomly lose; ie, they will provide 100% reliable uptime.

 ABC News: USDA says randomly testing poultry for bird flu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Agriculture Department is testing some chicken flocks on American farms as well as migratory birds in Alaska to detect any sign of the deadly bird flu disease, federal officials said on Wednesday.
To help detect the highly transmissible form of bird flu, the USDA said it has more than 40,000 private veterinarians across the nation watching for the disease.
The USDA is also working with the U.S. chicken and turkey industries to randomly test commercial flocks and poultry showing signs of illness.

The first program randomly producing a new 28-character sequence each time it is run; since the program starts over each time, it incorporates a "single-step selection process." The probability of randomly generating the target sequence on any given try is 27
For example, it would be reasonable to infer that some intelligent extraterrestrial beings were responsible for a transmission of discrete signals and pauses that effectively enumerated the prime numbers from 2 to 101.
In this case, the intelligibility of the pattern, together with the improbability of its occurring randomly, seems to justify the inference that the transmission sequence is the result of intelligent design.

 Exercise Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The goal of the exercise is to deepen your understanding of what randomness is by having you try to behave randomly.
Whether humans can behave randomly is important to psychology (as well as to the gaming industry!).
Most psychological theories would argue that it would be extremely difficult for people to behave randomly (more about this later).

 ipedia.com: Chaitin's constant Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In the computer science subfield of algorithmic information theory the Chaitin constant or halting probability is a construction by Gregory Chaitin which describes the probability that a randomly generated program for a given model of computation or programming language will halt.
It can then be shown that Ω represents the probability that a randomly produced bit string will encode a halting program.
This means that if you start flipping coins, always recording a head as a one and a tail as a zero, the probability is Ω that you will eventually reach the encoding of a syntactically correct halting program.
