I would suggest you read the wiki semi-article of 'Randomness versus unpredictability' in the source citation. An interesting question for determinists: if I send the command of [pick number=1-100] to a computer... is not the choice of the computer completely random? The circumstances have not changed at all if I do so again... and therefore the output can be different every time with the same input. Therefore: randomness.

ooo I did. Good article. Thanks saerules for posting it!
