1) I rather like the subjective view! Bayesians used to struggle to justify a choice of prior, but it turns out that 2^-K(x) is universal in the sense that it never falls below a constant factor of any given (semi-)computable finite (semi)-measure.

2) Sorry, I should have clarified that the programs are deterministic. So if you want to use an RNG, you also have to supply a string of random bits that cause the RNG to output forty digits of pi.
