I'm curious, why $3,133.7?


leetspeak for "elite"


Also the port that the original Back Orifice ran on.


... which is because it is leet speak for Elite in the first place.


3 is E, 1 is L, 7 is T.

This is of course an old-school wink by Google here, although I'm not sure where it originally came from.

It kind of went everywhere in the 90ies, even in looking at the time... 13:37 is 'leet time (!)

Different to what I originally thought :)
