I telecommute. I'm also hopeless at talking about myself. So, get to know me if you want to know.
I have a habit of repeatedly editing my post to try make it clearer, err corrections, and be more informative.
Also, I might just start "upgrading" code I see using old Perl styles. You'll probably thank me because it appears to get you more votes.

Transparent, unicode X terminal not tied to a Desktop Environment? Not true, you can do TRUE transparency with it. It relies on composite support to work :) |

What is the best method to remove duplicate image files from your computer no, you just test the whether or not 2 files with the same MD5 are really the same file, its not rocket science. |

What is the best method to remove duplicate image files from your computer there is no guarantee, its just unlikely. Its not impossible. Its quite possible to have 10 files that all collide with each other, but are all entirely different. This is unlikely, but it can happen, so you must test for it. |

What is the best method to remove duplicate image files from your computer if he had 2^(10^11) files it would be even worse than that, he would be left with only 2^128 files afterwards. If you have >2^128 then you're GUARANTEEING a collision. having <2^128 merely means "it could still happen, but its not guaranteed to collide", hardly a very positive outlook. |

What is the best method to remove duplicate image files from your computer The problem you all miss, is '44444' is a legitimate random byte sequence. Although its unlikely, you can't be naíve and assume it doesn't happen, because it can, and when it does, you'll delete a file that wasn't a duplicate. |
