Obvious ignorance is obvious -_-.
So what if you reinstalled it? You can still retrieve the files back (most likely).
Okay, would you kindly tell me how I could get most the files back? I'll hop on the IRC
You have those kind of people xD.
Just google for it then download a trial from *cough* torrentz *cough* .
As many people have said before, you can still recover the stuff that hasn't been written over yet, as when you delete something it's just marked as "unused" or something in the harddrive, and will exist there until it's written over.
E: Wat, i pressed tab+something and this got auto-posted.. >_> .. Oh yeah, and that's pretty much the reason you should always make sure if you're throwing away a harddrive that you drill a hole or just break it some other way, because even if you reformat it's very possible for someone who happens to get a hold on that harddrive to recover the files and you might not want that :p
It does not matter anymore. I already redid the work.
edit - instead of drilling a hole in it you could just shred the drive so people cant recover it
There is programs to actually delete from memory though, in case you know feds are on you over nothing.
Killdisk for example.
Lol, and people think I'm paranoia for never opening executable files that people send me
lol, im so sorry, makes me think of the day i wiped my computer > 4 times. hmm, maybe i cuda recovered them.....well GL' inda search 4 the python thing
Thanks for calling me stupid Freddy, much appreciated.
Cycrosism, look at something called Sandboxie :p.
Well, it was kind of a boneheaded thing to do.
because when you totally mess up your computer, you have something to keep you occupied:

Sand boxes are so fun :)
Bobng is banned now btw
Yeah forever. Only just realized.
Anyway, on the subject of the script, here is where you went wrong:
1. You ran it as sudo - Why?
2. When you asked what it was I said it was a "server thingy for IRC". Thats a dumb answer. Why continue?
3. The script had an error in it. It spewed out a traceback (A list of the last lines run in a script) which was FULL of the word "rm" (remove)
Infact this was the error:
Why did you send me the error message and wait for me to fix it?Code:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "server.py", line 4, in <module>

Use foremost.
