C# Class RandomOps.RandomDotOrg

Random Number Generator (RNG) that downloads random bytes from the internet website: www.random.org. Not thread-safe. These random bytes are generated from atmospheric noise picked up by radios. Only a certain number of bits are allowed to be downloaded from this website to your IP address each day, so this RNG is used with a Fallback-PRNG.
