Re: Lines of Code per Megabyte

I just bought a new computer with a 6 gig hard drive. In terms of Lines of Code that we all speak about, how many LOC's would this hard drive hold?

Now there's a novel question (g). I did some crude figuring based on my own code and concluded the following:

I use 1 MB of disk space for every 30K lines of code (loc). That translates to 30M loc per 1G, or 180M loc for 6G. To store 1 billion lines of code you would, therefore, need 33.33 gigabytes of space!
