Is radioactive decay actually random, or do we just not understand it yet?

At school I was taught that there is no way to absolutely predict when radioactive decay will occur. This is why we use half lives, which are based on probabilities, to quantify how quickly something will decay.

Is it conceivable that we will ever discover enough about radioactive decay so that we get to a state where we no longer need to use half lives?

Additionally would this also mean that the trigger for the poison in Schroedinger's box, which is traditionally a radioactive source, would have to be rethought?

This is a generic question you can ask regarding any "probabilistic law", is there true randomness or is randomness only a product of our ignorance? 

Truth is, no matter what anyone answers here, this is a question that has no scientific answer. So far, it seems like it's completely random and there is no reason to believe that there's something more fundamental going on, but you cannot tell it with absolute certainty.
