He's is traced, but they can't get him, he's finnish (atleast that's what I heard, almost a month ago now, not really sure if it was he who did it or he who was the first to distribute it :-? )

Source code is not small. I'm sure it includes comments, but chew on this: QB1.1 is less than a megabyte, but it's source code on my computer is over 30 megabytes. Windows is over a gigabyte on my computer.

rhia, my programfiles folder is 1.13GB and my windows folder is 1.23GB =P. And I am running WinME without any extras =).
JFYI My Redhat 9 full install is just ~700MB =P.

A Win98 install is only about 200MB when installed fresh and the user has experience. My Win98 install is about 500MB because of all the extra DLLs and OCXs I've installed or created over time. The size of the Windows directory is irrelevant. Your computer's usefulness is the relevant factor.

Quote:Diroga Wrote:you hear about half-life 2? they say they got leaked too. really what is the benifit some one could get from the source on them files?HL2 source got stolen, someone outside hacked a developers email and gained access to the source.
And not just that. The sneaky bastard used a trojan to insert a keyboard monitor on the lead developer Gabe Newell's computer. The keyboard monitor recorded all the keys pressed, and sent them back to the hackers computer. That was how the hacker stole the usernames and passwords for the Valve servers, and how he knew all the emails and letters that were being sent. He stole the sourcecode, and made a crude, but playable version of HL2, then distributed it. Valve called for internet bounty hunters, and offered rewards for any information about the hacker. They were damn keen to get im.

Thank you, Mr Nitpick, for that piece of information.

Mine is 644Mb, If i install enough I think I can get it to 1.2Gb.
Size of the windows folder after installation, is about as usefull for giving the size for windows as telling how many tires your car has when you want to know how far it has driven.
My installation has the habbit of creating: "fff99527_{4D19FDE1-5B2B-11D8-BF6A-0010A7095A55}.tmp" (or alike) files in my windows folder, they are all 0bytes and about 2 per boot is created, fun huh?. :lol:
