2006 Oct 15 03:24 (#2973.8661):Enjoy A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates. Bruce Schneier's review:
The meat of the book is the "Table of Random Digits." It lists them in five-digit groups -- "10097 32533 76520 13586 ..." -- 50 on a line and 50 lines on a page. The table goes on for 400 pages and, except for a particularly racy section on page 283 which reads "69696," makes for a boring read.
Amazon user B. MCGROARTY's review:
The book is a promising reference concept, but the execution is somewhat sloppy. Whatever algorithm they used was not fully tested. The bulk of each page seems random enough. However at the lower left and lower right of alternate pages, the number is found to increment directly.
Many more rave reviews on amazon.

2004 Dec 01 12:55 (#1035.2639):Here's one weird thing with the new hotness. Remember, a few months back, when I helped Natedogg fix the time on all the posts? But mentioned at the time that the way we were fixing it was kindof a kludge? Well, all the posts between then and now have the wrong time by 6 hours. We could fix it but we, well, won't be.
