My XP Pro comp has 38,795 files.

The least so far.

Does that mean that I'm winning or losing?

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #4 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!

I have saved a link to this topic on my desktop and will run the directory scan tomorrow on my main desktop.
I bet 1000 points I will beat you!

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #11 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.

Another classic...

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

Plus, while we are browsing, cookies are being stored so this isn't that accurate.

Ah, here we go.

HA! I still triple that number! I still reign supreme as the collector of the most useless files. BTW that doesn't even include the OS... I really need to clean out some of the crap though...

57,376 Files on the XP computer that I am on that only has a 10GB Hard drive. (Actually the hard drive is 30GB I just have 20GB set aside for Linux)

Oh, and on my Vista computer I have: 399,511 Files. (Am I getting close BC_Programmer)
BTW: Should I count the linux partition on my vista computer too???

squall_01 · « **Reply #19 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.
