- RocketGib, on 11/05/2008, -14/+731I accidentally the comment algorithm...
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -9/+326That seems pretty low for an Obama article.
- plundstedt, on 11/05/2008, -3/+264The whole algorithm?
- VenDrake, on 11/05/2008, -0/+217Wow. I didn't even know McCain was trying to become the first black president.
- Brododium, on 11/05/2008, -10/+168Someone already explained this... something to do with 2^32.
- yifanlu94, on 11/05/2008, -4/+148Digging digg, guaranteed front page material.
- trpnblies7, on 11/05/2008, -4/+126I like how the title in the picture makes it seem as though McCain was trying to become the first black president.
- dha07030, on 11/05/2008, -1/+110Is that dangerous?
- lektroluv, on 11/05/2008, -4/+103I digg, therefore I am.
- TimFrost, on 11/05/2008, -6/+100That would be 4,294,967,296.
:P - lacop, on 11/05/2008, -0/+81Limit of unsigned interger type:
2^32 = 4,294,967,296
If you go under 0 the unsigned int overflows to 4,294,967,295. - acegi, on 11/05/2008, -0/+75apparently china got digg recently
- uknowwhoibe, on 11/05/2008, -12/+834+2+9+4+9+6+7+2+9+5=64
Come on, you thought it might add up to 42, didn't you? - emberjohn, on 11/05/2008, -8/+79When did digg get 4,294,967,295 Registered Users ??
- redriot, on 11/05/2008, -2/+59The title makes it sound as if Obama and McCain were both racing to be the first black president.
- directedition, on 11/05/2008, -2/+54"Obama beats McCain to become first black president"
well, I'm not sure McCain ever really had a shot at being the first black president. - inactive, on 11/05/2008, -1/+50My script went a bit overboard.
- adriaaan, on 11/05/2008, -1/+48And this ***** is still getting buried.
- Unknown038, on 11/05/2008, -2/+42I think rockefeller2 is a pretty cool guy. eh makes angry comments and doesnt afraid of anything.
- gluon, on 11/05/2008, -2/+42This number is 0xFFFFFFFF in hex. As a signed number, it becomes (-1) which usually is what you get back for most failed db queries.
- koldmilk, on 11/05/2008, -4/+41Damn...
- BadseedJR, on 11/05/2008, -1/+37I thought it was going to add up to 911. God damn conspiracy.
- j3ff86, on 11/05/2008, -8/+43It's over 9000 * (.477 * 10^6)!!!!
- isntreal, on 11/05/2008, -2/+36Computers start at 0
- joe7845, on 11/05/2008, -1/+34It didn't matter either way, since Bill Clinton was already the first black president.
- cslawren, on 11/05/2008, -1/+33Diggcest...if you will.
- merreborn, on 11/05/2008, -1/+33Two years ago, most diggers would have recognized integer wrap around right off the bat.
Apparently the digg demographic continues to get less technical with time. - groo68, on 11/05/2008, -1/+33Can't you tell?
- cledford, on 11/05/2008, -2/+33link to the story or it didn't happen
- ChronicColonic, on 11/05/2008, -4/+35ACORN registers Digg users now...
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -7/+38Dugg for not saying "FAIL"
- StrangeFamous, on 11/05/2008, -1/+31it adds up to 58008, but you have to look at it upside-down.
- olddirtycr, on 11/05/2008, -0/+29Well it equals 57.... Nice arithmetic.
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -5/+33Kevin, please can you fix Digg? ;-)
- qwertycopter, on 11/05/2008, -1/+29I am, therefore I digg.
- fatlip, on 11/05/2008, -0/+27no wonder why he lost
- SteelFrog, on 11/05/2008, -5/+328675309 (obscure?)
- wupike, on 11/05/2008, -0/+27http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Obama_Beats_McCa ...
- griz, on 11/05/2008, -4/+31They didn't, just a lot of repeated and useless comments.
LOL

I CAN HAZ ________
ROFL
DUGG - dha07030, on 11/05/2008, -0/+27It came on to me. What was I suppose to do?
- angelFrog, on 11/05/2008, -1/+242^32 - 1 ... so technically the largest number you can represent with 32 bits.
- ryanonfire, on 11/05/2008, -1/+24also 4,294,967,295 is the highest number you can get using 32 bits
- Kurono, on 11/05/2008, -0/+21I came, I saw, I dugg.
- inactive, on 11/05/2008, -2/+23Is it safe?
- 0ceanic, on 11/05/2008, -4/+24YEAH LIKE THE WHOLE ALGORITHM LOL
- below413, on 11/05/2008, -1/+21Damn you Tommy Tutone!
- mentaldingo, on 11/05/2008, -0/+20What? There's 4 billion people in the states now?
- Greenbow, on 11/05/2008, -2/+21That's why if you caught a Pokémon under lvl 2 in the oldest game you instantly rose the level to 100!
A geeky coment, though. - raptor87, on 11/05/2008, -0/+19no its a trap
- isunktheship, on 11/05/2008, -1/+20damn intergers
