[chuck-users] random seed

[Stefan Blixt]

This thread has made me thoroughly confused. I see that you have solved your
issue, Lars, but I would still like to know what your task was. :) I feel it
might be good for inspiration.

In my world of computer science, if you use a random generator, pretend that
you've never heard the word "seed", and just start reading random numbers,
you will effectively get non repeatable structures, different every time.
