You're forgetting a key aspect of where a lot of his charm comes from, and that was that he failed out of Harvard twice. Not so great on its own, but when you realize that he went on anyhow to think and think and think and think, and write about it, he becomes a great inspiration to those of us who lack the means to even be thrown out of Harvard once.
I always insist that I'm from my mother, when people ask my geographic background/ethnic blah-blah. That or from the internet.:D Because really, for better or worse (better+5), if we're going to measure "nurture" influence, the internet has had more of an impact on my psyche than many of my family members, and much more than where I happened to have popped out.
Also too lazy to look up, but I think Arabs count as semitic, which is pretty funny.
Also funny: goyim means "nations", like people who have a nation (like Israel).
Furthermore, what are most of the palestinians (since they speak Arabian) referred to? People who speak any equestrian dialects are generally referred to as 'troubled'.
I believe a really good method for counteracting the lockdown efforts would be to demonstrate that by a LONG shot, the hacks are being used for homebrew, and impressive, innovative and heavily worked-on homebrew, at that. Discourage piracy/game-trading on your own, show mom and dad that you're "taking glassblowing to become the next Chihuly, no really."
Admittedly this would be a simple google-search, but can anyone present links to, let's say, 5 homebrewed titles, offering, let's say, at least 10 hours of estimated gameplay each? I'd love to know of anything on that scale being made entirely third party. However, I feel much more inclined to believe that the hacking is indeed being used just for piracy, with the occasional half-assed games/atlerations of commercial titles (LONG LINK IS LONG) and demos, and that makes me very sad.
However, I still favor an open system over the alternative.
I would argue that this signal-to-noise ratio adds a layer of security for the quality material which you are not able to pierce, hence you see static.

NASA rover updates in the form of teen-girl livejournals. Opportunity's latest update is over a year ago, spiritrover's is even older, unfortunately.
