not so... generally speaking most system use pseudo random number generator, which by definition is NOT random
if you want random, there is a good source of true random numbers that i like to use - it's based off the background cosmic radiation and you can get some true randoms from random.org
but on computer? nope, the random generators are sometimes way too predictable, depending on complexity of implementation
since we all deal with pascal script - here is an extensive analysis on pseudo random number generator as used by borland in their pascal based products from while back http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/pas-rand.htm

Reason: pascal randoms
Perfect script? There is no such thing as "perfect", only "better than you expect".
