Okay, now that I'm smarter, I have realised how this discussion can go deeper. One of the biggest philisophical debates for hundreds of years has been the aargument of free choice vs. fate. If everything is cause and effect, has everything you will ever do already been set in stone from the very first "cause"? Well.. If there truly is nothing random, then, well yeah. Nothing I can do to sttop myself writing this, unless it was already made that I would. Every little detail of your life, how hard you press each key of your keyboard when you type.. Everything.

Theoretically, this means that it would be possible to predict the future. If you could enter into a computer, every possile variable about everything into our universe and how they effected each other... Of cource this is pretty much impossible, but kinda intresting all the same.

One more thing... Radioactive decay? Is that definately random? If it is, then everything I have just said is completly void as something like quantum mechanics or whatever could massivly effect the outcome of the universe. Is it possible that we just dont know enough about radioactive decay to see a pattern? That seems likely to me. Anyways, goodbye world, I'm off to play some computer games.
