Pseudo-Random vs. True Random
A Simple Visual Example
===========================================
My sources is from:
linuxtoy.org/.../pseudo-random-vs-true-random.html
(It is a Simplified Chinese website. Some comments are worth to read.)
In J1708 communication the standard ststes "in case of collsion, a random delay must be inserted before transmission is attempted again"
well, two units with the same pseudorandom code collided and kept colliding forever.

I abhor when pseudorandom routines are named rand();
