DONE: Random (real random) file from folder and subfolders
Coeluh:
I'm curious about the randomness of this script. Could you make a simple thing with the same random-engine as in Pick Me and then wait for user input of:
- Number of choices
- Number of times to do the experiment
And then a resultpage where it sums up the number of times each choice has been randomly chosen.
This all is because I sometimes think it's not that random.

It's Visual Basic 6's rnd() function.
What do you suggest? random.org? :-)

Well I see that the first and the last number are getting a significant lower rate... What's that doc?

Fixed. It was a rounding issue.
Thanks mouser :-*
Feel free to redownload the app. Also added the splitted rar archives thingy.

Ok but I still think it's not really random. I've click my shortcut to get a random file like 10 times, and i got the same one 4 times and some other one 2 times and another one 2 times. Total files: like 100.
