Well, why the hell would someone in Australia where high-speed internet is really an oxymoron buy a freaking router? Don't you know these things look like bombs that could blow up an entire neighbourhood? D-Links...scary indeed. I mean, d-link, sorta sounds like Osama to me, don't it? | |

He should demand a formal apology from the police department. I was orignally thinking of sugesting the laywer but lawsuits are a touchy subject. The local TV station would be a good place to start if rumours already got around about it! I am sure they would have a field day over that! | |

It didn't look like a D-Link product because it was removed of it's OEM case and put in a weatherproof black box. It still doesn't stop someone from putting a bomb in a D-Link case. Hmmm. What did that Aussie do with the original case?? | |

Did you read the article? It says it was a "a Dlink 2100AP wireless AP, removed of its casing and with the PCB siliconed onto a black weatherproof electronics box," so it obviously didn't look anything like a normal D-Link. Good job, though. I like you're enthusiasm, but you can stop YELLING! Edit: See pix here: » forums.whirlpool.net.au/ ··· &p=4#r78 | |

This is a beaut...
Sounds like the guy didn't give them a straightforward answer when he was asked.... was probably too scared.
Now, one is free to not cooperate with the police on matters like that, but there's an example of the consequences.
Of course the investigation was going to continue until the authorities could respond with confidence to the person complaining that there wasn't anything to worry about...
I doubt the police were particularly pleased with Bobby's attitude either, given the parting shot.

At least in the U.S. homeland security contacts your local toy store and makes sure they remove expired patent infringing rubik's look-a-likes. The d-link had the potential to be dangerous at least. » story.news.yahoo.com/new ··· security | |

You try changing it to English (Australia) permanently then. Trust me, it NEVER stays set. After changing every setting you can find for the language, the damn Microsoft software STILL changes it back at random to English (U.S.). After about the first 500 dozen bloody times you give up and just ignore the flaming spell checker. | |

to PhoenixAZ
Erm, just because a few people you know in Australia have their computer setup wrong, you assume "Australians computers are set up this way..."
Anyway, what probably has happened is that the language is set to English (Australia), keyboard layout is set to English (United States).. because we use the $ symbol, no pound, euro, etc. so the US one is identical. | |

Since l live in Sydney its thanks to your government, yes the US government who continue to bullshit about terriost attacks and it gets everyone nervous about bins in rail stations. Thats what got the cops here nervous, if its a bomb theen there screwed and will get busted,
We had an incident earlier this month where in Mackay Regional Airport..ROFL, some guy heard this buzzing noise coming from the bin, called security and everyone got uptight, after the bomb sqaud comes it turns out to be a .......VIBRATOR....lol
Also at Sydney Airport, some flight attendant finds this bag in the toilet with BOB written on it, thinking back to those "be rleart and not alarmed' ads we have here she called the captain and than it descended into choas.
WTF is wrong with people these days, its all thanks to terriosts and stupid governments | |
