ConDems

Will we call them the ConDems once we learn to hate them as much as the last mob of useless twats?

Thumb Down

One scientist's counter-opinion == debunk?

Is El Reg now the climate-sceptic version of Auntie Beeb's unquestioning one-sided climate-change propaganda? Or is this just an example of lazy reporting and a leftover from Copenhagen kept for a slow-news day?

El Reg brought valuable balance to reporting of Climategate, but some analysis of how Mitloehner's methodology and funding compare to the 2006 IPCC report instead of simply repeating his criticisms and conclusions as 'truth' would have been welcome

Google or Microsoft - there's a question

Like trying to decide between Conservative and NuLabour - one you traditionally abhor, and the other you've rapidly learnt to loath...

Compete on what?

Don't the BBC, ITV & C4 compete on content? This is like telling them that all using the same broadcast transmission standard is anti-competitive. Surely that's only the case if someone with their own delivery platform also monopolised a load of content rights, like sport for instance...

Now the physics boffins need to build an even bigger machine to turn on in twelve and a half years for 4/3/21

Googlies

God help us if it gets out to Essex during the summer - there'll be "ladies" flashing their googlies in every frame!

Android?

Been working on the project for two years - the same two years since Google aquired Android (Andy Rubin's "secretive mobile startup")?

Divert livestock grain

Around half the grain produced in the world is for animal feed, and that used for feeding cows is an order of magnitude less efficient (in terms of weight of meat produced) that using it for poultry.

Cutting beef subsidies (approx £300 per cow in EU) so beef is sold at it's true cost would soon change consumer food spending, and free up a lot of existing arable land for biofuels.
