Don't forget to add in the lines of code for the Linux kernel on which they are running and the MySQL database etc etc.
I kept reading the article and on the last you find this gem:
According to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code. By comparison, a large bank’s computer system is typically about one-fifth that size.
That to me suggests the number is bogus, because it is so obviously a quote from someone who has no idea what they are talking about.
Simply measuring the web site in 'lines of code' as if that's meaningful indicates that it's a quote by someone who is not aware of how modern programming works.
