Yeah, I'd call total BS on that number, unless they did something absolutely insane... I mean, we're talking "instead of saving user information in the database, we codegen'd a set of classes specifically for each regisered user and save them to our repository" level of insanity. Has there ever been software that's even come close to approaching 500 million lines of code?
Imagine someone threw together some automatic code generation thing. It tries every possible input and then creates a special if-then statement for it.

Don't worry, the compiler will optimize it.
