Computer jokes (can be hermetic)

In summary, the conversation discusses someone using cookies to track how people found their website and discovering that someone in Russia had bought a calculator by searching for a way to crack it. The word "bate" refers to a specific type of calculator, and the speaker also makes a joke about "cookies" and "bytes."

I am using cookies to find out how the people that bought my programs located my site. This is what I found in my log today:

Code:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.pppoe.eltel.net - - [17/Nov/2011:13:24:24 +0100] "GET /chembuddy/?left=BATE&right=pH-calculator HTTP/1.1" 200 9020 "http://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=bate%2Bph%2Bcalculator%2Bcrack&source=web&cd=12&ved=0CCUQFjABOAo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chembuddy.com%2F%3Fleft%3DBATE%26right%3DpH-calculator&ei=8vzETqy7KurQ4QTZrJmQDQ&usg=AFQjCNGk09oSDKskaRpVVcm7ZJSgsRBohg" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.9.2.24) Gecko/20111103 AdCentriaIM/1.7 Firefox/3.6.24"

Funny thing is, they BOUGHT the calculator.

In case you don't see it, here is the important part:

That person already knew about Borek's calculator: He was trying to steal it. He was searching for someone who had published a way to crack into the calculator.

Oh. When I saw the word "crack" I thought of the drug. Like they were surfing the internet for a calculator that would help them calculate weights and concentrations or something.

What is he significance of "bate"?

If "all cookies have been cleared," does that mean I can't have a byte?
