    given that there is still considerable debate as to the "True Randomness" of computer generated random number algorithms it would be reasonable to assume that there are definitions of "Deterministic" that vary (ever so slightly) from Microsoft's. To summarise, whether RAND is deterministic or not "depends on the definition" of deterministic that one is using. Thus logic dictates that the third option (depends on the definition) is correct.

    The points please!
