OSX still beats Windows 7 in number of lines of code too. ;)

Seriously the info graphic is awesome.
 
An F-35 fighter jet only has 240,000 lines of code?

I'm absolutely fucken certain that's accurate.


According to here it's more like 10 Billion. Although the infographic says 24 million not 240k.

“The committee continues to support the F-35 development and procurement program, and believes a software development review by the Department will ensure that the F-35 program remains on schedule to provide a fifth generation capability in support of our national security strategy,” the Congressional language states.
The JSF program developmental strategy is, in part, grounded upon a series of incremental software “drops” — each one adding new capability to the platform. In total, there are more than 10 billion individual lines of code for the system, broken down into increments and “blocks,” F-35 program office officials explained.

Look again man. It's about 24 million.

I find that just about as hard to believe. You'd have to write over 270,000 lines of code a day for 100 years. There would have to be thousands of programmers working on such a project.

Oh, you're right, and I read it wrong. Still though, your average modern car has 100 million lines, and a F-35 has 24 million lines?

I have to admit, I think this infographic is bullshit. :)

not neccessory that every line is written by a human...
 
While infographics are nice, you can pretty much make anything up and people will believe it.
