Awful pun

Pffff If you are going to be doing that Cocodude, clearly you need to splash out on a decent RAID card

The 7200.11s are pretty sick - sustained transfer rates in excess of 110MB/s I will definately be getting some of them [though possibly the 750GB versions as I'm still poor] :P Also... bear in mind that 1TB is quite a lot of data... so you will pretty much have to RAID-5 them for insurance... though...

Hahaha, classic

I have your tent [as we thought that Kat was going to be the one short of space!] Though that isn't especially large and isn't breakable. Kat has nearly all of our camping stuff so I'll only be really bringing a little bit apart from clothes/sleeping bag etc. If you are only bringing the two, then I...

The problem is, is that it's another person's 'stuff' as well - that's what is causing the space limitation. As it stands, I still have 4 people and all their stuff in my car and I'm pretty sure that the boot is not big enough to fit it all in so some of it will have to occupy the middle seat in the...

Deffo The Cask and Bottle and Bar 44 as they were my old locals

Depends how much you want/are willing to spend :P Top-of-the range, you are looking at Gore-Tex lining for complete waterproofness [is that a word..?] On the other hand, my pair [somewhat old and knackered now, I have to admit] are leather but a shitload of dubbin on them make them pretty water-resi...

You'll have to get them before you go so you can break them in else they'll be hell to walk in!

Try re-installing the hard disk controller?

Can we charge you Nodnol prices?

This has been set back to 5GiB for the time being. We are going to have to have a review of the minimum share as it is [and has been for a while] being abused. As has been pointed out, the minimum share is NOT an indication of the 'acceptable' amount to share. You should share everything that you do...

I'd just shove a liveCD in and mount the drive

Though that is blatantly just ignoring the data protection act...

Firewire and USB2 are rare as unicorn shit... and as far as I am aware, Firewire and eSATA doesn't exists... soooooo
