1. Random numbers exist in theory not reality.
2. Given #1 We settle for "sufficiently" random.
3. Our tools for #2 are predictable, given the method and parameters at time of generation, we only need to corrupt or derive the seed.
4. Given #3 we either use the tool that creates #2 or we create one that is as "good" as #2.
5. Some idiot who believes #2 or #4 is an infallable solution needs to relearn statistics and probablity and rethink #1. (The answer is 42)
All "random" generation systems can be corrupted into predictability.
The fact that a CPU instruction can be subverted through design or microcode does not negate "good enough".
The "So help me God." has been optional for years. I didn't have to say it when I enlisted 20ish years ago.
The enlisted Oath basically informs you that you've suspended your constitutional rights to assist in the defence of the same. You further agree to be held to a higher standard set forth in the "UCMJ".
You can disobey in accordance with the UCMJ, but you have to really be certain of what you are doing and why it is the right thing. You still may go to military prison, but your conscience will be clear.
Manning was an attention whoring idiot.
A military tribunal IS a jury of his peers. An enlisted person voulenteers to limit, in accordance with the UCMJ, their constitutional rights for the term of enlistment. If only we could hold all "Oath takers" to the same standard.

He's more of an abrasive advertising himself as a demulcent. I'm sure he's hoping to parasitically shave off what he can before his hosts catch on.
why he's a former FBI agent. Somebody finally realized he's full of crap an a liability.
Is there a database of SQL injection hacks?
