No because 'they' is plural those leading to more ambiguity. If you want a neuter third person use 'It' as it is the neuter second person in English.
Seems to me that using "it" is going to cause more ambiguity and confusion because people won't be expecting you to use it to refer to a person. And it sounds rude.
"This/that/the person" seems to work nicely enough, doesn't?
the key is to not trust the client. for highscores/top-times, run a simulation of the game run on the server from the inputs.
How do you know you can trust the reported inputs? And you can't run a simulation if your game has (truly) random elements, nor can you allow for all device idiosyncracies.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to continue work on my Arduino-controlled Wiimote holder so I can finally get a perfect game on Bit.trip Beat.
As much as I like to take issue when a summary truly is unenlightening and makes unreasonable expectations of readers, I don't think this is such a case. Slashdot isn't a general news site, and does have a specific target readership, the vast majority of which are going to know what a certificate is and what SMTP is.
And anyway, whose mother? Some mothers would need the meaning of "ISP" spelled out for them over several sentences. Some mothers don't have even a vague grasp of what the internet is. Where do you draw the line?
At least it wouldn't be over the head of this mom.

If you saw Interstellar in actual 70mm film, you can easily tell which scenes were shot in 35 vs 70 when the screen is the size of a real IMAX theatre.
I could see a qualitative difference in the image between IMAX and non-IMAX on a 1080p rip. It's not just down to resolution.
Although, to disclaim, the scenes were also different aspect ratios, which was a bit weird.
There are browser add-ons that bolt a PGP client onto webmail and both Yahoo and Google are planning to support PGP directly. They attempt to prevent UI spoofing with icons similar to the site-authentication banks use to combat phishing.
What does PGP support have to do with avoiding spoofing?
And what does "icons similar to the site-authentication banks use" mean?
Secondly, you don't usually need to have even one foot on the brake pedal. In fact, I think some cars even let you drive without a foot on the accelerator...
What's annoyed me in the past is when I've gone to download some software and rather than giving you a simple link to an archive, you get instructions on how to do it all with Git.

Forgive me, but I'm not sure I trust the opinion of someone who doesn't know how to use apostrophes and doesn't capitalise initialisms.

No, Mr. Monkey. We were expecting
...you to die!
Sorry. I've been watching Bond films lately.
I think something else happened.
Can you think of a more likely explanation for the events?

Blimey, if you want to talk about clarity...
The really important news is that we could see Windows Redstone sometime in 2016.
What, really, is important about that?
No-one was expecting Microsoft to stop at Windows 10, were they?

feet off the brakes during highway driving.
Firstly - feet, plural?

Nope. It was just "Jay."
Then again, what exactly is the point of taking hostages in a public building if you *don't* want police/media attention?
They said I had six books out already, I know I only had five... these things tend to spiral.

They can be made so easily enough.
The reason they overload trailers is to haul more cargo without paying more drivers.
Really? You can't think of any other costs that could be cut by doing the same job with, say, 10% fewer trucks or 10% fewer journeys?
