Glenn has a good point there. If 100% Cheater-freeness is technically
unavailable, then what could we do to make it 95% or more? Maybe a
method where the hacked client would have to do some procedure every few
minutes that would take longer than that on a regular PC. Basicaly the
same as RSA - everybody can crack it and knows how to do it, it's just
it would take too long...
