    1. Canada's 'Random' Immigration Lottery Uses Microsoft Excel, Which Isn't Actually Random
      from Gizmodo

The process was designed to randomly select applicants in order to make the process fairer than the old first-come, first-served system. There’s just one problem: the software used to run the lottery isn’t actually random.
