If you are obsessed with true random numbers, you can get some produced by
radioactive decay: http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/uncgi/Hotbits?nbytes=100
Another good source is your lowly CCD webcam as the jitter it produces is
pure quantum noise. There is an issue with the data transmission rate,
because you have to avoid autocorrelated numbers by any means.
