Say... what the?

Zelaron: are you aware of how "simulated randomness" works?
bwjiz: err.. no
Zelaron: generally, NOTHING is random on a computer
Zelaron: randomness does not exist, only simulated randomness
bwjiz: why isnt anything random?
Zelaron: for instance, if you would want to pick a "random" number ouf of 100, you would have to find something local to use
Zelaron: the most common thing to use is the computer clock, calculating its uptime in miliseconds
Zelaron: if the ms counter ends with the numbers 95, your random number could be just that, 95, or if it's 42, your random pick your be 42
Zelaron: of course, this isn't random, but since the counter changes so rapidly, it would seem like it's random
bwjiz: hmm
bwjiz: interesting
Zelaron: of course, there are ways to trick with this, for instance, by stopping your computer clock (which would usually cause your computer to crash, but it could work)
bwjiz: lol
Zelaron: now, there seems to be no way around this, and to get real randomness just isn't possible, even in theory
Zelaron: now, in real life, things just don't seem as "random" as they should be, some things are just affected by "destiny"
Zelaron: a guy who wins a game of russian roulette tends to be more lucky than others in some cases, even though he really shouldn't be
Zelaron: so my guess is that there is a computer controlling life that tends to mess up every now and then
Zelaron: =P
bwjiz: lol
Zelaron: or the programmers who made us just did a bad work on the random function
bwjiz: riiiiiight..
Zelaron: oh, shut up
you can't prove me wrong

rofl he's right

riiiiiight..

Exactley what I said.

I was thinking about moving this to the Conspiracy Forum, but it's not really a conspiracy after all.

heh we understand it!

He had the exact same conversation with me.

It was based on the same thing, but it wasn't the exact same conversation.

yeah, it was much shorter...but it was on the same subject.

So what if we get trojan'd?

Originally posted by Jamesadin He had the exact same conversation with me.

My conversations with Chruser consist of:

Me: I got a question.
Me 10 mins later: Are you alive or just out Chrusin?

2 days later:
Him: Hey there

Me 2 hours later: I got a question.
Back to top.

I just randomly decided to read this thread.......isnt it amazing! WOW

Haha, I get the same thing Adrena. Or 4 in the morning I'll tend to get a random message with lots of hypothetical term usage.

He's been doing this to me since 2001 >_<

Zelaron is definitely jocking the copy and paste feature.

Hey, its there for a reason. You know, theres a personality test thingy that psychs use based on random number. they tell you to pick a random number between 1 and 23 or something, and analyze why you picked the number you picked.

Chruser always has wierd shit to say/bring up on aim... =0

assuming he ever responds
