And the fact that the cheating could corrupt the results
Read the article. The cheating doesn't corrupt the results of the effort...this isn't like the distributed.net challenge problem where people could say they checked a portion of the keyspace when in fact they hadn't. If someone's transmitting stuff out there, it won't be overlooked because of the cheaters.
Maybe because it's true. And maybe we want something more than re-heated tripe. 3 years hence, and now the so-called editors here think they've caught a rare species.
Can't you think of a more original tactic to slam me with? C'mon....I can take it. Take your time, you'll come up with something. I'm here for you & I feel your pain:)
AC seems so much the label, eh? Talk about being opportunistic.
