If it is random enough to give equal chance to all values in a few thousand runs that is a lot better than what we had before.

Also he said "random as it can be now" in that it is as random as it can be given the time. In order to achieve true randomness you will need to wait for an infinite duration for the now to apply for infinite randomness. So after infinite time is spent creating an infinity random random generator you can then evaluate if it is truly random. (I will try to be placed in suspended animation prior to death to await your results)

On another note I was wondering about effectiveness of the float version when used with decimal percentage values. For example: Math_GetRandomFloat(0.0,1.0)<=0.23

Is this fine, totally wrong or should I be saying 0.00,1.00 or something to improve accuracy?
