title: How reliable is the Random function in Delphi
body: <p>I am writing a program which write statistical tests in Delphi (must be Delphi) and I've heard that the Random functionality is somewhat odd.  You have to call randomize to randomize the seed of the random function when the program starts. </p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if the random function (after calling randomize) is random enough for statistical tests or a Mersenne twister is needed?  Does anyone have any insight into random's actual implementation which can tell me how important this is?</p>
