Indeed, best supercomputers are running today around 10 petaFLOPS (= 10^16 FLoating-point Operations Per Second) and there are 2^48 ~= 10^15 possible MAC addresses.

Kind of ironic
Having to teach something forces you to go one step deeper in your level of understanding. When it's only for yourself, you stop when you get the idea. And this is good enough. But when you know you will have to present it in front 200+ students, then you make sure you really understand it. You can't help it, your mind is trying to find edge cases, to put it in a another context, ...
Same as Nate, I first enrolled as a TA because it was paying my tuition fees. But I got a whole new enlightening understanding of the algorithms we study in 101: Divide and Conquer, graph algorithms (DFS/BFS/Dijkstra/Bellman-Ford/Kruskal/Prim/...), greedy algorithms, NP-hard reductions, etc. I now genuinely enjoy thinking about algorithms, or proving one algorithm is correct, or deriving the time complexity analysis. Now I TA really because I enjoy it, money is just a side benefit.

I like this state of mind.
- typed languages that are too low level to start (C/C++)
- scripting languages that are high level, not typed, and therefore do a lot of things under the hood (Python, Ruby, Javascript)
"This same tool has now been resurrected and there is ongoing development in order to make it useful for newer versions of the UNIX operating systems it supported."
But you can play with that, or go some direction Twitter doe not want to take.
You will have to improve much much more the way tweets are displaid before I pay for that kind of service every month.
