Hahaha, yeah for some reason here in Adelaide people know us for the weird murders that go on (Bodies in the Barrels - inside a bank ). Ohh well. I'm surprised that this post was actually on Slashdot, I was AMAZED when I saw Adelaide in a slashdot post. Most friends I know in the city go to Adelaide Uni and use their wireless, or they hang out at the state library :P Still, this is probably good advertising for Agile and Internode, hahaha. I love both companies, they've managed to give Adelaide faster ADSL(2+) speeds before most of the rest of Australia. Hell, you could get ADSL2+ out in the coorong (where I used to live) before it was available in the Adelaide CBD, thanks in part to my Mum :P Anyway, there are only a few people that this article would actually affect, and only about 2 of them would read Slashdot, I'm just glad that one of the people affected happens to be a really good friend of mine, so I can now talk to her on MSN even more, hahaha.

That link is a double 404.

But the answer is probably "because it won't do the job well enough". For details read the web page again, and particularly the first attempt, which looks like what I think you're talking about.
