I would say that as far as server does everything and there's no 
"Joshua" hardcoded - it may be a quite safe solution
what I meant above is that the server does the business logic
and client is just a layer for presentation [a common solution
nowadays]

I agree of course, that there's always a way to cheat 
it just depends strictly on what kind of game it is
for interactive games - it's virtually possible to write 
a bot to analyze server's sequence of data and to answer 
with a perfect match [f.ex. sequence of keystrokes to 
find a way out of a maze], 
for gambling ones /BJ, roulette, etc./ things are random
and if done on the server, you are unable to do anything,
because all you see is just the results

hmm what a fascinating topic... 
going to find some online casino 
there must be some flaws :-PPPP

Just my 5 bolivars...
