I hope it doesn't take THAT long. My drive's a 640 GB drive. :rolleyes:

EDIT: I DO have an i7 with 8GB RAM, so hopefully it'll be a day or two.

The bottleneck is going to be the HDD read access time I would imagine, rather than the CPU. I wouldn't wait up for it, will definitely take a while.

Have been bombarded with another load of Milkround e-mails for IT grad schemes and similar roles. Need to sort through them, pick the most interesting contenders and fire off a few speculative applications :awesome:

No idea. Perhaps I should have a poll or something? Would probably be DP, or dP perhaps. :holmes:

I lived around here originally, then moved to York, then to Crawley. Commuting in atm, which isn't too bad with the majority of people heading the other way (i.e. towards London). :smile:

Aye I remember that route. I left brighton for leeds, then down to newport now. hoping to go back in a few years and find work there. Enjoy it!

Okay, question. So my Ethernet coupler arrived and it works, and I'm getting good download speeds through en0. However, I can also connect through wifi simultaneously, and I didn't know this was possible. I'm basically connected to the router twice and have two different internal IPs for the same machine. What is this, and is this good/bad/pointless?

Pointless/bad for other machines on the network, as you're hogging anther device for DHCP allocation (the router only has so many spaces it can handle) and the throughput will be better on the wired connection.

EDIT: When we moving to version 3.0 of this thread? We've got 12(?) posts left.

But on a selfish note, how good is it for me? There aren't that many devices here anyway so allocation isn't going to be a problem. At the moment it appears to be connected through both methods but it's just using the fastest (Ethernet).

I'll sort the new thread out (if I'm around) when we hit 10000 :yep:

Is that seriously what firsts pops into your heads? Very very troubling. I suppose I could use my middle initial as well, but that would go against convention somewhat...
