Somehow 25 countries got lost while that sentence was translated into German.

There are similar differences (oversights?) in all of the translations.

It's as if a bunch of Americans wrote a bunch of ill-informed translations in an attempt to make this about translations, and not about tax avoidance. :)

I don't get what the Raspberry Pi is for. The Transformer is a lot faster and already runs Linux, you could just install Ubuntu/Debian in a chroot and use that instead of sshing to the Raspberry Pi.

I have not found it easy to install Ubuntu or Debian on the JellyBean Transformer. Since I had already ordered an RPi, this seemed altogether easier. The RPi also has the advantage of being able to serve as a single-user server when I want to quickly test a rails project or a backend for one of my apps.

This exactly. He has a very good Transformer setup that I'm going to duplicate. The only reason I could see for the PI is if he used it to provide USB Host mode or something similar - connecting the two long-term to extend their features.

OR if he were programming the PI from the Transformer...

The goal isn't to get it taken down, it's getting some publicity. So writing a witty bug report and submitting it to HN isn't surprising at all.

Actually he did "crack" it, with the exception of the red number.

Also it wouldn't surprise me at all if it worked. Huge companies make baffling mistakes all the time.

One example of a baffling mistake from Tesco - "spend £1.17 on bananas, get £1.25 worth of reward points": http://www.independent.co.uk/news/banana-economics-buy-942lb...
