disjunction, I'm assuming you were just nit picking here. While some tiny bias may exist somewhere in the system, the question is can you exploit that bias? If the answer is no, then for all intents and purposes you have a 'random' shuffle (or whatever).

Yes, the numbers are pseudorandom which are good enough for me. Certainly nobody who hasn't taken an advanced class in cryptography or whatever will be able to find a weakness in the pseudorandom generation. Even if the pseudorandom number is "bad", somehow, the .000000001% extra times the 4 of diamonds is dealt would have no effect on us in a lifetime.
The guy I was replying to seemed to have a legitimate question, so I was giving an answer as to how computers work.
