I don't think there's anyway to can change the original sequence of random numbers, however, you could post-process it with some mathematical operations that use the current date / time like multiply, modulo... this will ensure the final random sequence will never be the same.

For some reason, I can't get System Time to play well with _javascript_ in the screen saver environment. I'm feeding System Time into a _javascript_ block and doing

  if ( outputs[0] == null )
    outputs[0] = inputs[0] % 1.0;

to get a "random" number. It works fine in QC, but comes up NaN in the screen saver.

Here's a qtz showing this:
