- techdever, on 10/30/2008, -16/+1665The recession has affected comment diggs as well
- wavesmachine, on 10/30/2008, -19/+1040Probably the real number, I really hated those comments.
- WiseAcre, on 10/30/2008, -20/+1024DIVIDE BY ZERO RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -5/+806Kevin Rose: " heh heh I got that *****"
- manstein01, on 10/30/2008, -11/+609I think Hitler was less hated than that.
- Albumen, on 10/30/2008, -10/+448This is a new phenomenon I like to call Diggflation whereby the Digg is being de-valued due to a flood of Digg currency on the market.
- demondo, on 10/30/2008, -6/+369Here's a hint: 4294967292 = 2^32
- colonelbuckshot, on 10/30/2008, -10/+292Digg cliche: "Fix the damn comment system Kevin"
- TheChunt, on 10/30/2008, -0/+261Well not with an attitude like that.
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -14/+246Am I the only who constantly sees comments frozen on the +1 digg superposition state, and then when you digg or bury it, it collapses into it's real digg count state?
- Farmer77, on 10/30/2008, -3/+220It's a shame the work of the bury brigade is outsourced to China now.
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -4/+209OVER 4.2BILLION!
- mecharabbit, on 10/30/2008, -5/+180I have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Babyman has something to do with this.
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -10/+178Vegeta! How many times has he been burried??
- morcheeba, on 10/30/2008, -1/+136But signed integers use 31 bits (the 32nd bit is for the sign), so I would expect -2147483600. This looks like a poor 32-bit to 64-bit conversion (where one bit is extended, but not the rest). Is digg really expecting to exceed 32 bits?
- Crazd, on 10/30/2008, -3/+131WHAT!? 4.2BILLION? There's no way that can be right!
- Exekutor, on 10/30/2008, -6/+129link to the original digg article: http://digg.com/world_news/Sleepless_in_Teheran
- pathouston22, on 10/30/2008, -16/+126I bet these could happen without a Digg glitch, just say something negative about Obama.
- rjinso, on 10/30/2008, -0/+104So Digg is using Schrödinger's comment system?
- greeniemeani, on 10/30/2008, -0/+101I see it all the time. As a matter of fact, your comment was in the same state until after I dugg it up.
- aptanalogy, on 10/30/2008, -0/+99Only, now they never existed...
- chanop, on 10/30/2008, -1/+98you being buried isn't a glitch
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -9/+102Now think, for every one of those buries the gov put $166 in the pot for the bailout.
With 4.2 billion buries that make 700 billion. Holy horse *****. - justjeninsf, on 10/30/2008, -2/+90Yep - there's a weird bug affecting some of the comment counts. The devs are reviewing the fix as we speak; I promise it's nothing personal against those commenters.
- MrFayce, on 10/30/2008, -12/+100Woo!
- pacificman, on 10/30/2008, -56/+138Digg Fail?
- ousthouse, on 10/30/2008, -2/+79... or anyone who has taken pretty much any programming course at some point in their lives.
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -12/+82So over half the worlds population doesn't hate me then?
- thcanalichio, on 10/30/2008, -1/+67congress is working hard right now on a 700 billion dollar "diggout" bill.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+65Your comment just did that. I've seen it alot for the last week or so.
- Miche1987, on 10/30/2008, -1/+65Mine says "BOOBS".
Alpha key FTW. - AboveandBeyond, on 10/30/2008, -12/+75you are a jew...
- cecilpl, on 10/30/2008, -1/+60My reasoned guess: They have to store both positive and negative diggs (obviously, in order to display them). They're both using 32-bit unsigned ints (which range from 0 to 4294967295).
Somehow a glitch caused the negative digg int to decrement, which took it from 0 to 4294967295.
Thus the comment has 0 positive diggs and 4294967295 negative diggs for a total of -4294967295 (subsequently changed by other diggs/buries) - kamakazitp, on 10/30/2008, -2/+55He's just a low-class saiyan.
- fwertz, on 10/30/2008, -2/+52You're dividing it wrong!
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -7/+53Those look like my normal numbers. What's the big deal?
- BlackX4Life, on 10/30/2008, -4/+49i bet i can get more burys. BURY ME!!!
- j0etb, on 10/30/2008, -3/+47Like I've always said; say what you will, that man could trim facial hair.

- marskid2, on 10/30/2008, -3/+44The comment system (which exploded for those comments) probably uses a 32-bit integer for the value of diggs.
2^32 = 4,294,967,296 - ChronicColonic, on 10/30/2008, -18/+57ACORN is registering Digg users now?
- ostracize, on 10/30/2008, -2/+40Oooh SHI-
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -2/+40***** IT! WE'LL DIVIDE BY ZERO LIVE!
- DVmaker, on 10/30/2008, -2/+40Should'na been talking *****.
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -5/+43Look at the bright side - even if that *was* an accurate bury number, you'd *still* be more popular than our current administration.... >.
- megamod, on 10/30/2008, -3/+40no it's just the Bury Brigade being selective
- thcobbs, on 10/30/2008, -0/+36Or, they are infinitely large.
- inactive, on 10/30/2008, -46/+82WTF I didn't approve the use of myself for your amusement. You owe me at least +5 diggs. Please? Those negative 4 million diggs sunk my average down to roughly -700 diggs per post!
