Post by: JJ 3000 on February 14, 2009, 08:55:36 PM: My XP Pro comp has 38,795 files.

The least so far. :-[
Does that mean that I'm winning or losing?

Post by: BC_Programmer on February 14, 2009, 09:10:43 PM: It's not wether you win or lose, it's how you play the game, or something along those lines.

So- it's not the number of files you have, it's how you use them!

Post by: BC_Programmer on February 15, 2009, 09:32:33 AM: hey... you're cheating... somehow...

On the other hand, I could just delete my "XXX\goats" folder... (Just kidding of course. I need that for later)

PS: the above "just kidding" comment was itself a joke in that my computer does not have any pictures of goats fornicating. there are baboons in dresses, monkeys and lizards going at it, but nowhere does one see a goat doing anything nasty.

PPS: the above was another attempt at foolish humour in that I posess no animal pornography on my computer at all and it thus does not contribute to the total count. There are however two types of human females present: JPG and TGA.

PPPS: the previous "PPS" comment was again an attempt to falsify information in an attempt to look cool. a large number of files (I think around 1000) are actually simply the debug output from one of my projects. many of these text files exceed 50MB. All images of *censored* females are neatly stenographed within the text meaning a proper MD5 key will decrypt it.

PPPPS: the previous "PPPS" comment was once more falsification, in that the stenographed nudity uses a SHA-1 key as opposed to the MD5 key mentioned.

;D

Another classic...

Post by: squall_01 on April 20, 2009, 10:27:02 AM: I wish that I could do this probably will have to do it later. But I have so many machines but at any rate I will say the machine that I will probably use has the drive filed. But I want to use my batman pc again so badly then that number would be smaller.
