    Austria has 11 million IPv4 addresses. 11.170.487 to be exact

      American way: 1,000,000

      It is not just America. 70% of the world uses commas as separators with a decimal point. We out number the dot-separators more than two-to-one.

      Of the nine countries with nuclear weapons, seven use commas as separators. So if you want to fight this out, you are gonna lose.
