What did the elephant do when he hurt his toe?

I have an old PC with a SATA 500gb HDD in it. I'm going to put it in an external case. There's no reason to keep the old Windows folder is there?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Never throw anything away.

Well, it's HDD space. Other than old OS files, I doublt there's anything usefuul in there

Unless you see come circumstance where you will replace the HDD in your old PC - no.

If you just intend to use that HD as a data drive, then no, there's no reason whatsoever to hang onto the Windows folder. Nothing of yours should ever end up in there.
Program Files is getting pretty close behind that; most well-behaved apps have stopped storing user data under that a long time ago.

No, but seriously I did. You shake the little M5 stack and 6 dice come up with a more or less true random. And he's so happy.
It put me in a good mood. He learned a little C++. Win win.

That is pretty cool.
I have always wanted to use the RDRAND instruction, but always been too lazy to get it working in C#

I played around for a project a while ago...
I used the classical
srand ((unsigned int)time(NULL)); as seed
but then the actual rand usage was only to initialize the three terms needed for a xorshift (George Marsaglia algorithm) of 2^96 period, was big enough for me and the fastest of what I tried (in the meanwhile I have read that 2x64 bits Xor-Shifts are faster with bigger range, but didn't test it myself yet)
I liked it because I didn't need any external source and in all my tests I didn't catch a single repetition (played with it some months in my project).

It's much harder to do that if you don't have a built in clock!

Fair enough... I didn't realize you were speaking about "Not a PC"

You could have stopped at two dice but then it would have been total craps
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

This... this is actually beautiful. I can see it used in D&D when you have to roll 13d6 for a Fireball damage.
