Random Points on a Sphere
so what's the point? WHo wants a "random" sequence like 0100101101011011011001001001010110111010010101010 - that's not random at all!

Sometimes you want "quasi-random" sequences:

Game developers, for instance. They might want something that's randomly generated but with specific restrictions, in this case, maybe aesthetically.
