Sorry, but this defense is less than weak. Using "python
socketmodule.c" you actually get the right answer as the third result,
while with the even-more-obvious-to-a-rookie "socketmodule.c" you get it
as the *first* result. It would perhaps be fun to experiment to see
just how hard it would be to use "socketmodule.c" plus anything else and
*not* get the result one was looking for. ;-) (note the wink...)
Clearly "Tor" did not try searching Google with two of the most obvious
results, but I think at this point he should be considered to be soundly
thrashed over the matter and we can all move on. This isn't getting any
more interesting...
