    How reliable is java's Math.random() function?
    After a certain amount of iterations would a pattern begin to emerge?
    Would it be a reliable basis for generating a "One-time pad"
    method cypher?

    You can initialize Java's random number generator with a seed, which could be the current time or some random data you can fetch from the internet. Without using data from the real world, all software-based random number generators won't be able to generate true random numbers.

    how reliable is basing the seed off of the current time? God, im brain farting, sorry if the questions aren't making complete sense.
    >The class uses a 48-bit seed, which is modified using a linear congruential formula.
    >48-bit seed
    what exactly does this mean? as opposed to it being 124-bit
    or 248-bit. does it being 48-bits change anything? would i concievably be able to make a better random number generator by combining several factors (IE: certain functions?)

    also, how would i search for trends within the cyphered text?
    I have a volume of 350k "random" words atm, each character has 560 different permutations (words) assigned to it. would this be enough?
