Well one last thing which makes me wonder is the IMUL instruction which is 


for signed bits...



A really easy way to test if random is at least a little bit safe is simply 


use unsigned integers etc...



Some remaining questions are about the period/module/whatever etc... but 


since everything just wraps around that's probably ok as well...



Well my time's up for today.



Must go do other stuff..



I am goddamn rusty but it's quite funny as well.



Me looking differently at/towards things hmm.



Bye,
