Looks good.

Stupid questions below:

* Why use InetAddress.getLocalHost() for the initial seed? I understand
you don't want to use SecureRandom to dodge the depleted entropy case,
but isn't that the over-optimization to initialize the static seed once
per VM/classloader?

* Is there something in floating point math forcing us to use the
constructions like "if (!(origin < bound))" instead of "if (origin >=
bound)"?

Thanks,
