More about the project
So it's like...
$ ls /dev/*rand*
/dev/random /dev/urandom /dev/hurandom
Get it?
I wanted to know how 'random' the Human Random number generator was.
Why do this talk?
To share with you the beauty of collective human endevor.
... and how to deal with those f*cking trolls.

But they didn't f*ck me too hard
The Conclusion
/dev/hurandom is terrible.
I know right? Crazy.
Totally unexpected, but that's okay.
That's all. Questions?
