I’m hoping that this is a mis-translation, or a bad joke. In a recent news conference, Bill Gates was quoted as saying that IRS computers cannot handle his tax return.
“My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can’t deal with the numbers”
Riiight. After all, 32 bit arithmetic only gets you to 4 billion. So maybe the IRS ported their software to a 64 bit machine just for Bill, Larry Ellison, and Warren Buffett.
