I predict that it will either be successful or it won't.

Quote: Not one untrue word here.
What? Try telling you local fraud investigators that!
Computer algorithms as the best random number pickers is an outright, barefaced, lie! As anyone with half a brain already knows from the fact that lottery numbers are not picked by computers (I realise this may not be true of all lotteries in all places at all times but it should be!)

Where did I assert that lottery draw numbers are picked by computers? In my country they are picked by a suspicious, Goldbergesque machine that makes a big show of juggling numbered balls. Or something like that, last I was unfortunate enough to see a draw on TV.
Right, now, please tell the jury where I further where I suggested that computer algorithms are "the best" random number generators. And, if you still feel up to it, please name one random number generator, versus merely a source of random numbers, that is better than a computer algorithm.

I didn't assert that you asserted that lottery numbers are picked by computers so I'm not going to be drawn into reasserting what I never asserted in the first place. (I do have to wonder whether your understanding of English sentences is picked by computers though after that spectacular a failure to read what I wrote!)
You are right, however, that I extrapolated from your use of the word 'better' that you were implying 'best'. The point however stands even if it is only 'better' that you are asserting. That's just as big a porkie.
I do not think that I (or more importantly the aforementioned fraud investigators) am inclined to support your merely playing semantics in the alleged difference between a source and a generator. But even playing that game I would suggest the humble die, a coin of your choice, a roulette wheel ... [spooky mist indicating the passing of long periods of time while a very long list is announced] ... and my granny's trick knee!

Touche. My linguistic faculty is currently under load from having to deal with a huge and unfamiliar JavaScript project, so I incorrectly inferred from your statement below that you were correcting a proclamation by me that lotto numbers were picked by computer. So my understanding of English, while not picked by computers, was influenced by them.

Yes, but those mobile apps have no income generating potential for me, and lack the personal touch of my resident and dedicated computer expert.

Can your algorithm communicate with the dead as well? If so, I will pay you double.

Please, sir. I make no claims at all about my app doing anything but a faieky fairly good job of generating random numbers. But, maybe I could hook you up with a witch doctor who may claim some deeper use for said numbers.

I thought money was printed on paper. My ink jet printer does that just fine.

My inkjet printer may have been abused at times, by forces that seek to remain anonymous, in activities involving less than legal documents, but I've never tried actual money.

Of course, it helps to have the right sort of paper. But, you could always use it to try to fool those change making machines...

Now that he has been reelected, will Dalek Cameron come back in the Lounge to post CCCs ?

OK, I just wanted to make a bad pun about Dalek "Dave" Cameron, did not realize the local elections were actually at the same time as the parliamentary ones.

Yes, I did understand. Just thought you might be interested to see what happens to the real DD.

Sure enough ! There has been so many posts about his ... well... vanishing from the Lounge. I'D be interested to see whether it paid off.

 What an incredible story !!

If, by incredible, you mean unbelievable then, yes, I would have to agree with you.

Indeed.

Unbelievable?
What part of DD making derogatory comment about Pikies on a Social Media forum is unbelievable?
