random is generally random. but computergenerated random is generally not random since random has a very random nature.

random ey?

100101010101111110101010110111001010101110101010

110000101111111001010111110111111110000101010100

which one of those are random you think?

as random as it gets...

don't you know that random sh!t got a gaussian distribution with zero mean and a unit variance?

both sequences are originally the same, but since they have been sent over an awgn-channel (additive white gaussian noise), several bits have been flipped during the transmission. it is also evident that you don't use any error-correcting code since the output doesn't equal the input, doh?

How random is that?
