Just a to clear up the money confusion. I'm guessing you're American? The Register is UK based as far as I'm aware. That will account for the differences in your numbers :) Americans call a 1,000,000,000,000 a billion, over here in the UK we call 1,000,000,000 a billion. I think this will clear up the confusion, you don't have a problem with maths, it's just a regional difference.
