The problem with your band saw is that it doesn't include any safety restraints, and the manual
doesn't tell you to wear eye protection. In fact, it shows the little stick man just about to feed his hand right into the saw blade.
Any random number generator with a finite internal state must eventually fall into a cycle. Anyone who uses a lagged Fibonacci or other insecure PRNG to generate one-time pads deserves to lose. If you really knew anything about crypto, you would know that a long period is not sufficient for security. Anyone who downloads one-time pads from the web deserves to have their traffic sniffed by Carnivore. About the best us mortals can hope for is Math::TrulyRandom or
open RAND, "</dev/random";
read RAND, $key, length($message);
I'm done with this thread. You get the last word.
