        You have been nominated for the first prize, 
        thank you. That's all make sense to me. Now
        that I know I should blame myself for not
        noticing this little daemon running all the time
        on our machines. But to give others a chance
        I will postpone the final announcement :-)

        P.S. 
        I do not have a clue as yet why my mailer mishandled
        my question about sources of randomness. I thought
        it was sent few days ago. Sorry if you received it twice. 
        I had few hardware problems recently, the servers
        were down few times. Add to it yesterday's terrifying
        storm - I could not belive my eyes when I saw sparks
        coming out the receptacles. What a week!
