 It is citing the text of an ad, 25 years ago, for the first PowerBook G4.
 Maybe it was describing the properties of C99, maybe it's just the
 abundance of registers in PowerPC. Two 32 bit registers give one 64 bit
 register – I assumed that PowerPC had more prospects than intel.

 polluted sources! (Or methane in tap water.)
