Generate randomness via atmospheric noise

[Joe Caverly]

Ref: http://www.random.org/clients/http/

Example;

@setlocal
@echo off
setdos /X-5
type http://www.random.org/integers/?num=300&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new
setdos /x0
endlocal

Site includes generators for Integer, sequence, string, and quota.

Enough is:

type "http://www.random.org/integers/?num=300&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new"

Not exactly. There are two external checks of numbers quality:
http://www.random.org/analysis/
But a bit old (2001, 2005). Both are excellent.
Visualisation (http://boallen.com/random-numbers.html) dated 2012-02-26 looks good.
There is no guarantee, that today we are talking about the same generator :)
