This may seem like a good idea, but in my line of work, anyone who uses this method to generate a random number is asking for trouble. This is one of the easiest to break. We have a selection of exploits to break TCP sequence numbers so we can hijack sessions - most of which depend on system time as a seed.

True, but we don't need cryptograhically strong random number generator on Empeg.

Of course, the main trouble with Empeg shuffle is human propensity for pattern recognition at any cost, so to say (take, for example, Rorschach test or constelations).
