Re: 14 million lines of code?

These days, what counts as a line of code anyway?

How many lines is an XML config file? What about CSS? Or a server markup page? Is a SQL query one line, or does it depend on how you format it? And do you count table definitions?

Etc.

Ridiculously stupid measure of development complexity. Should be banned from places like The Register, who really should know better.
