I'm sure it happens on trains at Heathrow etc... but what if one downloads copyrighted material like a new movie or a new game. Would the authorities be able to trace you? Does Wi-Fi allow pirates to get away with these serious crimes? I ask this because to my knowledge the authorities Ip address to track down pirates and with wi-Fi isn't the Ip address unknown as it is on a public network?

Open Question: How to configure linksys WRT54G wireless router without CD?
I purchased a Linksys WRT54G wireless router (version 4) from amazon and when it arrived in the mail, there was no CD with it. I thought it was a new router, but I think it must have been used as it has a goodwill price tag on the underside of it. How do I get this router to send a wireless signal throughout my house without the CD? So far I have connect the blue ethernet cord from the router to my internet modem and another ethernet cord from my router to my computer. I also have both the wireless router and the internet modem powered up. There is one numbered light on which is where I have the ethernet cord from the computer connected to the router and the internet light is blinking. I have done several internet searches trying to find how I can send a wireless signal through my house with this router and the main thing I got was to go to the address 192.168.1.1 and configure my router. The thing is though, is that while I can configure the router with a password and everything, I still cannot get connected to the internet. Can anyone walk me through this step by step?

Open Question: Can you use Multiple RAID Cards?
I am building myself another new computer, and having experienced HDD failures, I want to protect myself against them. At current, I have 2x 2TB drives in my PC. 1 is partitioned up for the OS and DATA, and the other drive is to store backups. However, I would like to use RAID in my new computer. This is the RAID layout I am looking for: Drives 1 & 2 (2x 1TB Drives, SATA) in RAID1 for the OS. Drives 3,4 & 5 (3x 2TB Drives, SATA) in RAID5 for my DATA. Drives 6 & 7 (2x 2TB Drives, SATA) in RAID1 for Backups. Now, I had a quick look but couldn't see any 7 port raid cards that would do this. Is this possible, any cards you would recommend? Or, can I use more than one RAID card in my PC. Say, a 5-port one and then a 2-port one? Thanks.

hey, i had a similar post to this before but now the specs have been updated so what do you guys think of this: its all in australian currency (aud) CPU: Intel Core i7-930 - $349 HardDrive: WD SATA 1TB - $77 DVD Drive: SATA Sony - $30 Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E - $275 Graphics Card: 1G GTX460 Gigabyte - $275 RAM: 6G Kit ddr3 2000 G.Skill-Trident - $239 Monitor: 23†5ms DVI Acer G235HBMD - $194 PSU: Thermaltake EVO Blue Gaming 650W - $147 Case: Thermaltake V9 - $99 OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - $110 Wireless: PCI-E TP-Link WN781ND - $25 Headset: Plantronics 367 - $38 Build Fee: $70 TOTAL: $1928 and would 1600mhz ram be enough or would the extra speed REALLY help.. because it would help if i could go with the slower speed as the price would make it just under budget oh and im helpless at putting it together so scrapping the $70 assembly fee isnt really an option one more thing, will having a separate hard drive just for the os make much of a difference in terms of speed. iv researched it a bit but there were mixed answers. thanks :)
