Frankly, I'm surprised we're still using nasty bulky power supplies.

I have one of these running my full size ATX nforce2 motherboard. It takes a single 12V line in and generates all the different voltages needed by a motherboard. Why arn't these just built onto a motherboard? Your average PC power supply could be a lot smaller and more efficient if all it had to deliver was 12V and 5V. Plus you could do what I'm doing, and run a PC directly from a solar panel charged battery. I wish I could do the same with my monitor!
DOWN WITH ATX POWER SUPPLY CONNECTORS! :D

For Kamilion- I've seen and used literally dozens of LCD panels which accept plain old 12v input. Obviously, there are plenty of other selection criteria I'm not aware of for your situation, but I wanted to mention that they do exist.
Also, I'm curious to learn if the register ever posts transcripts of these audio feeds- sometimes the content appears interesting, but I don't like to spend time listening rather than reading.

We're not doing transcripts for the moment, mate. And I doubt we ever will.
We write quite a bit about most of the topic covered in the shows, and, well, audio suits some people and doesn't suit others.

So I guess it's a hearty "fuck you" to deaf people then? Sounds about right coming from the Reg I guess. Who needs physically handicapped people knowing more about technology or what's happening after all.
Hey, I know, why don't you make the website with a red background and green text, that gets rid of the most common colour blindness sufferers. You could also force the text to be really really small (post as an un-resizable image or something) to get rid of those with other eyesight issues. I don't know, be creative! Lots of stuff you could do really to get rid of the annoying "handicapped" crowd and their constant bleating for accessibility.

So you're volunteering to do the transcripts?

A hearty Fuck you on a Sunny Indian Saturday... What a way to start the day.
I already feel energised. Now gimme some Paris Hilton please ;)
No Transcripts PUHLEEZ. The Mumbo Jumbo is already fueled by Vendor Centric views which MUST be avoided at all costs. Since charity begins at home, i am planning to go deaf starting monday.

Believe me, if you've ever seen Bryan Cantrill do a presentation you'll know that even audio doesn't do him justice, no way do you want just a boring transcript...
