Which is the best random number generator seed?
483034
In general, The system time is known for the best seed for Random no .If You want to add more then manipulate it by the memory used or available or some kind of technique .

Why not just make your own by uploading your own image.\n\nhttp://www.mygen.co.uk/ has really good generators to do that.

5500 games, programs, are at the liveCDrom site, http://pclinuxos.com which I consider the BEST online site to open up other great online sites!  \n\nVirus proof is the best part!  Makes it very safe to visit strange websites!

<SCRIPT>\nrnd.today=new Date();\nrnd.seed=rnd.today.getTime();\n\n    function rnd() {\n    rnd.seed = (rnd.seed*9301+49297) % 233280;\n    return rnd.seed/(233280.0);\n};\n\n\n    function rand(number) {\n    return Math.ceil(rnd()*number);\n};\n</SCRIPT>\n\nThis is alot more simple then using the IF statements. To create a random number between 1 and 10 use rand(10). To display an random image named banner1.gif to banner10.gif use: \n\n<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT><!--\ndocument.write('<IMG SRC="banner' + rand(10) + '.gif" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="40">');\n//--></SCRIPT>\n\nIf you have at least 10 or more banners... You shouldnt have a problem with dups. If it is essensial not to dup let me know and I'll update the code.

A computer is actually incapable of generating a true random number! They can simulate randomness though, and most do it by performing a calculation based on the computers internal clock.\n\nHowever, the clock for a thread on most computers starts at 0 when the program is first run, so in many cases you end up with the exact same sequence of "random" numbers everytime the program is used.\n\nTo get round this, programmers can specify a "seed" - a number to start the randomisation process from. In some games, you can chose the seed yourself to generate different puzzles for example (eg Microsofts FreeCell)\n\nWhen I am programming an application that needs true random numbers, I therefore use a simple technique to start the program with a random seed at every execution.\n\nI will choose a moment where the program is waiting for some user input, such as pressing "Next" on a welcome screen, and I will have the program count how long it sits waiting for the user to make that input. Whatever value that is, I make the random number seed for that particlar execution. As the computer counts exceptionally quickly, it is impossible for the user to anticipate what the seed will be by timing when they press the button.\n\nEDIT:\n\nThe poster below is certainly not incorrect in what he is saying, but it is important to note that the precise nature of the random number generator differs depending on the development environment being utilised. In other words, there have been ones developed that conform to both of our descriptions, and probably some others too! On reflection, I would have to concur that the his "mix the bits" model (or Linear Congruential Random Number Generator) is probably more widely utilised today.

Nod 32  is the best , but AVG is an excellent anti virus. They do a superb free edition too.

To get a random number in excel, you do use the =RAND() function.\n\nTo get whole numbers from 0 to 10 use =ROUND(RAND()*10,0)\n\nTo get whole numbers from 0 to 100 use =ROUND(RAND()*100,0)\n\nI hope this helps!

The easiest way to generate random number from a given distribution is to generate a uniform (0,1) random number; then compute the inverse cummulative probability function from that number:\nLet u be a uniform random number\nthen, x=Pinv(u,l) distributes Poisson if Pinv stands for the inverse function of the cummulative poisson distribution.\nIt's not relevant what language you use for programming

There are few ways to generate a random number.\n\n1)Hardware Random Number Generator \nThis uses a physical process such as radioactive decay.\n\n2)Pseudo-random Number Generator.\nStart with a number called seed. This method generates a sequence of random numbers, starting from the seed. This method provides many different alternatives on how to generate the next number. Below are two examples.\n\n2-1) Linear Congruence Method\n The next number is generated by a linear recurrence. For example, we can use x=5x+1(mod 7). If the seed was 1, the next few numbers are 6,3,2,0,1,...\n\n2-2) Lagged Fibonacci Method\nThis method uses Fibonacci recurrence relation with some alteration. Such as f_{n+2} = (f_{n+1})^2 + (f_n^3) + 1.\n\n3)Quadratic Residue Method\nThis method uses the fact that the exact half of the set of residue of a prime number is a quadratic residue. For example, consider 13. 1,3,4,9,10,12 are quadratic residue. 2,5,6,7,8,11 are non-quadratic residue.

Random chances are the same as probabilities. If you are so interested, you should look into Quantum Theory. It describes it in depth.
