Is a Website a Reliable Source for Random Bits?

Just though you would find this interesting: http://random.irb.hr/index.php

Sounds interesting. Thanks for the link.

Recently, this was discussed on Slashdot. Some more services out there:

* HotBits- radioactive decay
* random.org- atmospheric noise
* From lava lamps
* Entropy (?)
* http://www.vanheusden.com/aed/ (?)
* http://www.vanheusden.com/ved/ (?)

And as discussed on /. ...why would you want random bits from a website anyway? (Can't use it for cryptography any more, for example.) Better off using http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/rnd/linux-rand" .
