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!

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.

Another classic...

Yes, but every time I do a full virus scan, it scans about 1,000,000 files.... ;D
