   Thats odd, as that isn't even what "-- OUTPUT 1 --" in the link show - and   
   that is just three seconds worth.   
      
   But just lets assume that your "You will get" is right and continue :   
      
   > But if you use the second %random% value, you will see all 32768 pictures   
      
   No, you won't.   
      
   Simply said : how do you think that if you put 900 different seconds in   
   (generating 900 different first %random% results) that you than can get   
   32768 different second %random% results from those ?   
      
   > It is a bug to use the seed as the first random number!   
      
   In your particular use-case ?  Not at all.   
      
   I'm even wondering why you think you should need to use a random value to   
   begin with.
