The discussion was quite interesting and it gave me leads to pursue. But
here is a more specific question: would the following function provide
*more* random results than the Math.random()?
// returns a random number from 1 to top
function random(top) {
var now = new Date();
var hh = now.getHouera();
var mm = now.getMinutes();
var ss = now.getSeconds();
var ms = now.getMilliseconds();
var tim = (hh * 1440000) + (mm * 60000) + (ss * 1000) + ms;
var rndm = (tim % top) + 1;
return rndm;
}
