[Sigh] Sounds are misunderstanding what I meant by determinism, my apologies. Of course a given instance of an RNG will generate the same sequence given the same seed. That's not the issue. The issue is Java historically has guaranteed that, for all future versions and implementations of Java, the RNG will produce the exact same sequence given the same seed. It is deterministic across language versions and implementations. This is extremely unusual for a programming language, and a very bad idea. Java's RNG has grievous errors: but these bugs cannot be fixed because it would change the sequence! Its bugs are fixed in stone.
