I think you can "remove" (well, not literally) some of the not-so-random data in the inputs for the random generator (like the 60Hz of the current, processor harmonics, etc.) by first sending the random-data trough a compressor. bzip2 or gzip or whatsoever. By compressing data, you'll remove redundancy from data which should remove repeating events like the 60hz stuff. See also the thread that spawned on this mailinglist on that message I wrote about the randomness of the kernel :-)
