    Following on from a thread in comp.lang.java.programmer, I am interested
    in feedback on the following statement:

      Truly unpredictable sequences of numbers can be produced
      by algorithmic means, but the runtime needed to produce
      successive numbers ramps up (possibly exponentially).

    Thoughts?
