Enough of all these crazy ideas about random number generation. Here's a
couple very practical ideas:
1) Leave one system very open to hackers, and get a random seed from
their varying stupidities.
2) Continually monitor all Slashdot comments below Score 1. Trolls make
good random flamebait.
3) Employ the infinite-monkey protocol by having a bunch of monkeys bang
on keyboards connected to your box.
4) Pick up the cosmic background noise.
5) Just put whatever needs to generate the random numbers on the web.
Link to it from Slashdot and Freshmeat. The equivalent of a DDoS will
provide plenty of random data to chew on.
6) Scan your cat's brain waves.
Sorry, couldn't resist :)
