Randomness testing of Arduino TrueRandom

I ran

cat /dev/urandom >> devurandom.bin

which produced 31 MB of data in a few seconds. To get numbers from the Arduino, I ran:

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 cs8 115200 ignbrk -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel -opost -onlcr -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke noflsh -ixon -crtscts
cat /dev/ttyUSB0 >> TrueRandom.bin

which took several days to produce 93 MB of data (rate of about 3.2 kbit/s)

Replace .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, etc. with something much more clean, consistent, and meaningful. Now a repo: https://github.com/josephwecker/bashrc_dispatch

# Author: Joseph Wecker, 2012

# -- DEPRICATED --
# This gist is slow and is missing .bashrc_once
# Use the one in the repo instead! https://github.com/josephwecker/bashrc_dispatch
# (Thanks gioele)
#
# Are you tired of trying to remember what .bashrc does vs .bash_profile vs .profile?
