i know this is off-topic but given the frequency with which discussions
regarding pseudo random numbers pop up i thought it might be good to
give a pointer to a reference.

you may know that you can download sections the book 'numerical recipes'
from the web. you can read about the license at
http://cfatab.harvard.edu/nr/nronline.html

for random numbers, read chapter 7.

ps: i do not wish to start a debate on the merits/demerits of the book.
