Either of those work well 200 years ago? I didn't think so.

The thing with feeding truly random numbers to a person is that they never seem "random enough," so you'll have people rejecting a stochastic process because they see patterns, so they'll go out of their way to make it look more like noise, and decreasing the entropy.

I love the idea of this. Commodity hardware + smarts = awesome
