RANDOM.ORG offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise. Also has subsites such as a coin flipper, dice roller and a jazz scale generator.
I hereby endorse Random.org's integer generator to reorder one's Netflix queue.

They just want you to think that atmospheric noise is random.

Don't forget The lava lamp random number generator from SGI way back when.

The source of "atmospheric noise" is quite cheap compared to a quantum random bit generator - just tune a radio between stations.

Conquer Club (prev) uses random.org to handle dice rolls (Scroll down to #17 - "How do the dice work?").
