Can a time capsule operate on its side?

Can a time capsule operate on its side? Or must it be operated in the flat position? Will it cause damage to the unit, shorten the life of unit, etc if operated on its side.

I was wondering, would you be able to use the time capsule just like a external hard drive; like playing games from the time capsule?

Also if i installed windows on my macbook pro would i be able to access the time capsule from the window 7 side to play games from the time capsule (if possible to put games on your time capsule).

If using the time capsule as a router, can I limit who on the network has access to the hard drive portion of it?

I am interested in getting the Time Capsule to use as a wireless router in my house to replace the piece of junk one I have and to have large storage capacity. My problem is I have roommates who would also be using the same network, but I wouldnt want them to have access to the data I would store on it. Is there any way I can configure it to work as a router for all roommates but limit access to its hard drive/storage capabilities to just myself?

Furthermore, if instead I were to continue to use my old router (a linksys), is there any way to set up the Time Capsule as a wireless repeater to strengthen the signal in my bedroom on the other side of the house?

One more thing....does anyone have any experience using this router outside of the US? Ive got decent/normal internet connectivity from my ISP but I wouldnt want to get a time capsule if it could potentially not be compatible with a non-US service provider. Thanks.

Is the Time Capsule a hard drive?

does the Time Capsule work as like a hardrive? For example, if I am running out of space on my Mac Mini, is the Time Capsule the thing I need to buy?

Airport vs. Time Capsule

Is the Time Capsule the same as an Airport (except for the obvious storage advantage)??? And if so, are they exactly as good as eachother??

Can I have a Time Capsule without an Airport??

I want to know because if I can have the Time Capsule as a wireless router as well as an external harddrive then Ill buy one, instead of both!
