so uh basically I wanted to hide my flash games so they didn't get deleted, so I generated a "maze" of folders (three levels of a-z, so 26^3 folders) and put them in a hidden folder

...shortly afterwards the disk filled up
...but empty folders don't show as taking up any storage space even though they logically must be stored somewhere
caird coinheringaahing
@pxeger Wow, it couldn't handle 26^3 empty folders? Pathetic
pxeger
so they couldn't work out why the disk was full (especially since I put them in a system-hidden folder)

I hate you now too :p
user
And you didn't tell them about the maze?
pxeger
I didn't know what I was doing
caird coinheringaahing
@user That defeats the point of it
pxeger
@user well no, because then they'd find my illicit stash of flash games
user
@pxeger Wait, who were you hiding them from?
And why?

@user the teachers, who already regularly checked my user area... do I have to tell this story too?
user
Oh, it was at school. Gotcha
caird coinheringaahing
Did they regularly check everyone's user area, or just yours?
user
@pxeger Sure, let's have a second storytime :P
pxeger
@cairdcoinheringaahing nope, just mine
@user
sigh
caird coinheringaahing

Out of context quote of the day?
pxeger
I installed Firefox when we were only allowed to use Chrome (and more to the point, they didn't want us installing random software)
user
@cairdcoinheringaahing Most of TNB's stars are like that :P

@pxeger You monster!

So they fixed the policy that let me install Firefox...
...and predictably I kept finding new ways of doing it
