We'll have plenty of randomness, just wait until May 19, when 3.7 ships.
  Take the number of people who complain about cracked cases, divide
that by the number of people who complain that they haven't gotten their
CDs yet, then multiply by the number of people who post that they DID
get their CDs and list their city and state. Then add to that the
number of people who tell everyone to stop complaining, and subtract the
number of people who say they didn't get their 2.3 CDs yet.

You'll have your random number, but you'll have to store it in a 64-bit
integer.
