They've certainly gone to a respectable amount of effort with this one. I was expecting Taco's achievements page to be static HTML, but it seems we all get them.

I was surprised by that, too. I'm trying to decide how far back they went in the database to come up with the numbers.
Plus I have 'The Cheater' achievement! (Truthfully, achievements can serve a nice function to the site: we actually intend to use a few of them for legitimate purposes, starting with tutorial type functions: all major parts of Slashdot have an corresponding achievement, so getting them all requires you to explore much of the site's functionality).
If you want my guess, there is no way to get "The Cheater". You get it by hacking the achievement database. This means Taco gets to have it, along with anybody else who can get into the database, legitimately or otherwise. Whether they'll prosecute everybody with the achievement who doesn't have legitimate access is another question.
