That's a fair assessment, I've always found The Register (.co.uk) entertaining and informative. They don't *appear* to have any particular axe to grind. Having said that I can't really comment on their attitude to 'climate change' as I make a point of avoiding the often hysterical rhetoric employed by both sides of the argument. My view? anyone who thinks we can continue to exploit the limited resources of our planet indefinitely is obviously one brick short of a full load. -- Lipska the Kat©: Troll hunter, sandbox destroyer, treacherous feline and farscape dreamer of Aeryn Sun GNU/Linux user #560883 - http://www.linuxcounter.net
