Dear everyone! Since I saved the workspace-image I get the same row of random-numbers everytime I run R. How can I make the random-numbers random again? Thank you in advance!

?.Random.seed says
'.Random.seed' is an integer vector, containing the random number

be saved and restored, but should not be altered by the user.
so just remove it.
The behaviour is intentional.
