I don’t buy that. The Pitbulls of Australia seem to have a habit of mauling and killing small children on a regular basis, more so than any other dog breed. Maybe the Pitbulls in Australia are different but I doubt it.

Thanks for that. I would have though that in a language all about error checking this would not be allowed: Something() But there you go, I've learnt something new about Go.

My guess is they're counting code from existing packages used to create the site. So for example, if they used Java, that line count is including the lines of code found in the JDK. I see no other way of getting to such a large number.

From the page: One specialist said that as many as five million lines of software code may need to be rewritten before the Web site runs properly. It sounds like they've been doing a little too much coding and not enough designing.

From what I've read about the US health system, I thought you don't get much in the way of medical treatment unless you have medical insurance. In other word the insurance covers the cost. If that is the case, where is the debt?
