www.random.org also has a random generator. If you backtrack most of
where its noise comes from, you find quantum mechanics behind it. It
may be worth the effort to make a module to fetch a small number for
values from this site.
It also turns out that http://www.noentropy.net/ has quantum physics
behind its numbers, but octave can already do what it does.
