Widely used in many programs, e.g. it is used in Excel 2003 and later versions for the Excel function RAND [8] and it was the default generator in the language Python up to version 2.2.

An alternative to a Record-oriented file is a stream file, in which the file system treats a file as an unstructured sequence of bytes. The applications may, but need not, impose a record structure. This approach significantly reduces the size and complexity of the library and reduces the number of utilities required to maintain files.
Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols is generated that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance.
Windows 98 has a credits screen Easter egg, which can be triggered by invoking weldata.exe with the argument "You_are_a_real_rascal" in the command line or a shortcut (.lnk file), or by clicking and dragging between the locations of Memphis, Egypt; Memphis, Tennessee; and Redmond, Washington on the Time Zone map.
Microsoft Office 95 (version 7.0) [a] is the fourth major release of the Microsoft Office office suite for Windows systems, released by Microsoft on August 24, 1995. [5] It is the successor to both Office 4.2 and 4.3 and it bumps up the version number of both the suite itself and all its components to 7.0, so that each Office program's number matches the rest.
the default seed is {{#time:z}} (currently 356, i.e. the current day number in the year, at the time this page was last saved or purged from the cache) and can be set to any other integer value (used to generate distinct values on the same page);
The name of the operating system in which this file system debuted. Partition identificator The partitioning scheme and marker used to identify that a partition is formatted to this file system. Per-file compression Does the file system support real-time transparent compression and decompression of individual files. Per-file encryption Does the ...
An astrophysical Monte Carlo simulator examined the time to generate 10 7 64-bit random numbers using RDRAND on a quad-core Intel i7-3740 QM processor. They found that a C implementation of RDRAND ran about 2× slower than the default random number generator in C, and about 20× slower than the Mersenne Twister .
