Download Torrents With Your PC Turned Off

Mr.Tweak writes to tell us that they have a review posted of a new wireless router from ASUS. What sets this router apart from others is that in addition to being a wireless router/gateway is that it also functions as a thin client system with a pre-installed 160 GB IDE drive (no SATA support sorry) and three USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. If you happen to use one of those USB ports for another drive the router will also support RAID 0 and 1, quite a bit more than the average router.

    You might not be aware but here in Australia we recently got a whole bunch of American laws passed because Bush wanted us to have them. Bush is able to affect what laws are passed in Australia, despite the fact that Australia is a democracy and not a single Australian voted for him. So yeah, it's definitely likely that the RIAA buy a law banning bittorrents in America, Bush doesn't veto it but instead coerces other democracies (such as Australia) into passing similar laws.
    That seems to be more your problem than ours. A government should be strong enough to make its own decisions than let another country do it for them. And I mean that along the lines of a STABLE government, so don't try and bring Iraq into this. The only reasonable explanations would be 1) your government already agreed with laws we passed or 2) your government is -- forgive my terminology -- stupid enough to fabricate a belief that we'll attack Austrailia for not doing what we say. Just like the subject at hand, the latter case would be someone else to consider next time your election comes around.
