random
     
        1. Unpredictable (closest to mathematical definition); weird.
        "The system's been behaving pretty randomly."
     
        2. Assorted; undistinguished.  "Who was at the conference?"
        "Just a bunch of random business types."
     
        3. (pejorative) Frivolous; unproductive; undirected.  "He's
        just a random loser."
     
        4. Incoherent or inelegant; poorly chosen; not well organised.
        "The program has a random set of misfeatures."  "That's a
        random name for that function."  "Well, all the names were
        chosen pretty randomly."
     
        5. In no particular order, though {deterministic}.  "The I/O
        channels are in a pool, and when a file is opened one is
        chosen randomly."

        file."
     
        7. Gratuitously wrong, i.e. poorly done and for no good
        apparent reason.  For example, a program that handles file
        name defaulting in a particularly useless way, or an assembler
        routine that could easily have been coded using only three
        registers, but redundantly uses seven for values with
        non-overlapping lifetimes, so that no one else can invoke it
        without first saving four extra registers.  What {randomness}!
     
        8.  A random hacker; used particularly of high-school students
        who soak up computer time and generally get in the way.
     
        9.  Anyone who is not a hacker (or, sometimes, anyone not
        known to the hacker speaking).  "I went to the talk, but the
        audience was full of randoms asking bogus questions".
     
        10.  (occasional MIT usage) One who lives at Random Hall.  See
        also {J. Random}, {some random X}.
