Right, and actually, some random numbers are generated with hardware "behaviour", like with the cd-rom drive, cpu or espacially the mouse-movement.
Usually this is enough for private users, but when it comes to serious,
1. the numbers have to be that huge, that even a "hardware number" has to be increased by an algorithm and,
2. The ennemy could always know, which hardware you are using, and so at least decrease his list of possible numbers
