The point is "it might just of been" ought to be "it might just have been". The incorrect "of" probably comes from the fact that the pronunciation of the contraction "might have"->"might've" sounds a lot like "might of".

Well, 2 billion, actually. They forgot to use "unsigned".

You missed the point. Reemul is making an oblique reference to the 1972 Olympics where 11 Jewish athletes were murdered; look up "Munich massacre" on wikipedia.

It can "detect...extra...joints"? Talk about features for a tiny niche market! How many people have six fingers? Or two elbows per arm?

You have to go on tour, and charge for live performances of the bits you created.

And I just changed my compiler to make "char" be 32 bits, and then I recompiled a few libs and all my source code, and now all my programs automagically support Unicode!

It's simply the jury's emotional response to the death of Peter Parker.

The Internet wouldn't even EXIST if the Ron/Randoms had been in power in the 1970's, and now they figure they have something useful to say about how it ought to work? I suppose their "Internet Freedom" must mean that they want us to be free of the Internet entirely...

But that does not mean that in all puzzles with more than 17 clues you can remove a clue and still have a unique solution. This makes the last sentence in the main post kind of meaningless; plenty of (x+1)-clue puzzles are harder than some x-clue ones.

"Why," you may ask, "was the internal wiring so insanely packed?" The length of each point-to-point wire was individually calibrated, such that all the signals to each gate arrived at the same moment, so you didn't need flip-flops to latch values in the flow of the circuits. Kind of a "just-in-time delivery" of electrons; and each layer of buffering avoided saved you delay along the pipeline. I don't think this sort of scheme was used on any other mainframe.

OK, I expected him to be more accurate than I am at folding towels, but faster too?!?
