PlayStation 3 root key found by geohot(iPhone hacker)
can be used to sign games to run on the ps3
from Wikipedia(summarized):
Sony removed the ability to install another operating system in the 3.21 firmware update. This event caused backlash among the hacker communities, and eventually the group Fail0verflow found a flaw in the generation of encryption keys which they leveraged to restore the ability to install Linux. George Hotz (Geohot) later created the first homebrew signed using the private "metldr" encryption key which he leaked onto the internet. The action of leaking the key led to Hotz being sued by Sony.
At the 2010 Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a group calling itself fail0verflow announced it had succeeded in bypassing a number of the PlayStation 3's security measures, allowing unsigned code to run without a dongle. They also announced that it was possible to recover the Elliptic Curve DSA private key used by Sony to sign software. The release of this key would allow anyone to sign their code and therefore be able to run it on any PlayStation 3 console. This would also mean that no countermeasures could be taken by Sony without rendering old software useless, as there would be no distinction between official and homebrew software. On January 3, 2011, geohot published the aforementioned private key, represented in hexadecimal as C5 B2 BF A1 A4 13 DD 16 F2 6D 31 C0 F2 ED 47 20 DC FB 06 70, as well as a Hello world program for the PS3.

The percentage of security vulnerabilities in software that are caused by memory safety issues, as reported by sources such as Microsoft and the Chromium browser project. This number is often repeated as an argument in favor of using memory-safe programming languages for critical software projects.
Industry analysis has shown in some cases, that despite rigorous code reviews as well as other preventive and detective controls, up to 70 percent of security vulnerabilities in memory unsafe languages patched and assigned a CVE designation are due to
memory safety issues.
Dev A: Damn, another segfault. I wonder what happened.
Dev B: Another 70% moment, that's what happened.

An atrocious term used to describe people of low intellect that are not even in the slightest truly capable of scoring at least, if not more than, 70 marks out of 80 in their maths paper

This term defines those teen and twenty-something’s of this decade. These were the ones shaping the fads, fashion and lingo of that time period. They could tell you how groovy it was back then.
The only thing babies born in this decade could recall is starting kindergarten, watching Zoom, Captain Kangaroo, learning how to read and write, getting McDonalds happy meals, duck duck goose and field day at school, playing outside til street lights came on - on up to being a fourth grader reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing ……too young for anything outside of that to remember much else about the decade.

A show that was once of the best sitcoms/series to ever exist. Was very popular among young teens (90s, 00s), due to the fact that it was a generational era series, a type of show that was never made except for the unsuccessful spinoff they made 'That '80s Show.' Made in 1998 and ended in 2006, which gave it eight seasons.
