Absolutely there should be discussion. The article you linked was quite informative. I had heard about it but never read the actual story. I knew just enough about random number generation to understand how the problem could have come up, but assumed the poker site hired better programmers. Apparently not.

Unfortunately, there is rarely discussion here about real security problems, only charges that online poker is rigged because the poster sees a lot of big hands, lots of people suck out, whatever. Yours was the first post I've seen that linked to an actual case.

I've long had a theory that Windows Solitaire is rigged--they reward good play and punish bad, but that's another thread. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
