I know just enough about random number generation to understand that I don't really know anything about it :-) That being said, people who really care about random numbers, tend to rely on some sort of physical process instead of computer algorithms. A classic example would be /dev/random. A somewhat more fun example is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n8LNxGbZbs. Something radioactive and a geiger counter are a good source of randomness (time intervals between decay events).
