Note Submitter: itsupport at adoptionassociates dot net ---- Alex, thanks for the code to visualize randomness. The variable 'ink1' should actually be 'ink'. When I generated the picture on my server, I saw a random distribution. What this shows us is that randomness is not entirely controlled by the language, but by the underlying operating system or computer hardware. Some machines do a better job at generating random or pseudorandom number sequences than others. Your graphic shows how successful your computer is at this.
