	New addition to the article..."as Archive.org holds virtually the entire internet." But I'm thinking that might need better enumerating. It only archives 'the web', and the easily connected-web at that. In addition, of the things it archives, it generally archives multiple snapshots. So it might even have 'as much as' (for the sakes of argumnet) the entire technically-public webwise internet, but still with huge gaps that makes 'virtually' do an awful lot of work (as well as 'the ... internet'). I could just {{template\|Actual citation needed}} that, but thought it better to just write my concerns out like this and leave it as it is until maybe someone else has better wording in mind.

		+	:(BTW, for comparison, "the internet" is often quoted in terms of holding zettabytes, while the Internet Archive is in terms of petabytes. So a very rough factor of a millionth of that which it might have. Also, given that archive.org is a set of actual web pages on the actual internet, if it ''were'' to faithfully store the state of everything then it either doesn't store an entire half of it (that copy which is on itself) or it starts becoming an extremely recursive issue. "Hey, archive.org, what does archive.org have on what archive.org had on what archive.org might have had on [...] the contents of explainxkcd.com?". :P ) [[Special:Contributions/2.98.65.8\|2.98.65.8]] 21:09, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

 Right now it says that we aren't yet at the stage of having a CPU in Minecraft. That's not true. SethBling has implemented BASIC [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4e7PjRygt0 using only command blocks, armor stands, and banners].

	There actually was something called "MacromediaJava" (one word). Before Alchemy/FlasCC/CrossBridge, there was an earlier C-to-AS3 compiler meant to demonstrate how cool the AS3 runtime is. Someone managed to port enough of Kaffe and Classpath to it to build a replacement for the Java Plugin that ran applets in Kaffe under FlashPlayer instead of directly in Java. It didn't work on most applets, and was slow and glitchy, and it was never meant as more than a demonstration, and normally I'd say there's no way anyone would be referring to that in 2016… but given the theme of this comic, the XKCD stack may be the one place where it was used. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.255.82\|162.158.255.82]] 23:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC)		There actually was something called "MacromediaJava" (one word).
