I think high school English classes need to start cracking down on improper use of the word "random." Anyone with me? It's mighty fucking annoying.

There is no such thing as true random.

Are you talking about existentialism or what? What I'm saying is, punk ass white kids have devalued and bastardized the word and it's taken on a completely different meaning.

I'm saying that every time you see the word used it's incorrect, because a truly random anything is impossible by the fact that everything is based upon something else.

Thats kind of what I was getting at with the existentialism joke (stfu I'm a nerd).

Anyway, you're probably right, but thats not what I'm pissed about. It's these damn kids giving a different meaning to the word. See this thread title for an example. If you understand the meaning of the word, then it doesn't make sense.

ps Akuma - aren't random number generators based on algorithms, making blase's point correct?

They are based on a computers system clock down to a really excact time measurement to come up with what number they present. To anyone these numbers seem random, but you'd notice a pattern if you could get a new number each time the smallest used measurment of time changed.
