Looking for true randomness?

My pursuit of purely random subjects has reached it's climax ... Those clever boffins out there have managed to produce a 'true' random number generator that relies on "the unpredictable quantum process of photon emission"

Oh, and registering with the website is a bit painful unless you have a good mastery of mathematics. The registration confirmation code is a complex mathematical equation, some boffins idea of a sick joke! With my math skills pretty much stretched by the first 10 equations, I just kept pressing F5 until primary school math was shown and bingo I was registered!

Unfortunately the corporate firewalls objected to the randomness and blocked my access to their service server, so in typical "the show much go on" zannyness, here is a random number I generated myself using the close-eyes and tap wildly technique:
