Two questions related to random number generation:
1. If you generate a set of random numbers using the same seed on
different machines, do you get the same set?
  (I want to make a fractal landscape map that is the same for everyone)

2. Is there a way to generate random numbers without accessing the
rand() function. (i.e. is there an algorithmic way to generate rand())
