I've heard this joke before on HN.



I'm not sure I got the pointe. Could you explain?


The professor is incompetent because he doesn't actually know how to talk about the performance of computers. It's not really a "joke", more of an anecdote


Or he was about to reveal classified information and stopped short.


In the original it's actually over 8000, which is interesting because numbers usually don't cause translation issues.


I’ve told this once or twice before I think. True story.
