Waw

That's not very impressive. Their site doesn't even work properly in Opera.

Gob

Mouth, spit (n.), or spit (v.i.).

Pedantry

Title should either be "Conservatives' cock-up (n.)", or "Conservatives cock up (v.)". Entertaining article, though, of course!

Sounds like...

Distinctly similar to the tone of Encyclopedia [sic] Dramatica, if you happen to be immature and, ahem, like that sort of thing.

Vista

I got a MacBook around Easter (with a discount) and have never felt so damn smug in my life.

Pricing

What are the odds that single tracks are about £1 here?

Posted in The Pirate Bay admits links with right-wing benefactor
Alex Wood

Extremists?

I think it's fair to say that all the people at The Pirate Bay qualify under that title. Doesn't make it a bad thing.

Segregation

Can't you just keep all the Yanks on the American site, El Reg? Give them some explosions and flags and things. Then we can have 'lappy' back over on the right side o' the plonk.

Tagging

Oh, I thought this was Web 2.0-style tagging. Why not combine it and track anyone called "confused" (and mis-spellings of the same) more than ten times or so by passers-by?

Excellent.

"Sweet: free Internet wherever I am" is what a theoretical laptop owner might say.

CDs

Go and buy second-hand CDs from Amazon. Last CD I bought -- not very obscure, not very popular -- was £4.74, including VAT 'n' P&P. Eleven tracks, so that'd be £8.69 on iTunes (I'm pretty sure they still charge a flat rate regardless of age and popularity). Do I want to pay twice as much for low-quality, non-portable audio without a hard copy and booklet? Tricky, that.

These Yanks just can't cope with a little competition.
