It means your hard drive is full... Get a bigger one or an extra hard drive or just plain delete stuff you don't need anymore..

^^to the OP.. I suggest you get a book about OS X and learn how to perform simple operations such as deleting file/folders. I will say this much that you probably need to look in your download folder and see what you've been downloading of torrents and what have you.
Simply highlight the item in question and drag it to the Trash which is situated in your Dock.
If you have one of the new Macs with a 250GB harddrive then I simply cannot understand how you can fill it up. I bet you got it for Christmas, right?
edit.. I just realized that I may have been a little harsh in my comments. Sorry to the original poster.

You could save some good hard disk space by deleting the not needed localization resources with DeLocalizer DeLocalizer 1.1 - MacUpdate
In a nutshell, Mac OS X apps come blunded with several languages resources so you could run your computer in english, french, deustchland, spanish, japanese… whatever, common sense says you would only need your native tongue and besides that english resources. I would remove any other language resource.
While DeLocalizer is still a PPC version it seems to work flawless with intel Macs, and it is free.

BAD IDEA I think. It may only be monolingual that does it but I remember a number of problems stemming from these apps. where it had cleared out the localization files for Rosetta meaning Rosetta didn't work any more.
