It's probably combining the lines of generated HTML of every possible page permutation of the site.

- taftster 13y agoI know you're joking - but seriously, I think this is it. I don't think it's "page permutation", but probably more like the number of page template lines of code. i.e. all the HTML templates + the embedded jsp/php/asp/whateverp embedded. Lots of people (technical management or marketers) likely think of HTML as "code" and thus it's included in the count. I also think that the 500mm lines of code was likely floated to sound impressive - turns out, of course, this shows how messed up this project really is.
