That said, a random number generator isn't really random. Its a mathmatical function that generates something that simulates a random number. They can create a predictable cycle if not used properly. In Basic, there's a function called "Randomize Timer" that reseeds the random number generator based on the internal clock time. That makes it seem more random since the exact time it happens isn't very predictable. If the programmer was crooked he could potentially leave himself a window. It's happened before.
