This may be an interesting article; however, I stopped reading when I discovered that it is about math/rand and not crypt/rand. Any PRNG that is not cryptographically secure must be flawed by definition (otherwise it would qualify as a crypto PRNG, right?) and should only be used for tasks where the quality of the randomness is only secondary.
