[Haskell-cafe] What's the best seed for random API ?

picoSec :: IO Integer picoSec = do t <- ctPicosec `liftM` (getClockTime >>= toCalendarTime) return t rollDice :: Int -> IO Int rollDice n = do ps <- picoSec return $ (take 1 $ randomRs (1,n) $ mkStdGen $ fromInteger ps) !! 0 The above code uses `ctPicosec` as seed. Is it better to use the output of /dev/urandom as seed ?
