Bunch of twits.

..Or did I miss the part where it became some sort of El Reg'ism to post derogatory comments on all of Ted's articles regardless of quality. Kind of like this:

Paris because she thinks you're all a bunch of twats as well.

Nintendo whacked with $5m Wii strap lawsuit

Is it really so hard to work out how to *not* fling a "wii-mote" through your tv?

US stocks up on semi-automatic rifles

@ Steve - Semi?

"The AR15 is semi-automatic, but a stock AK47 is not."

Wrong, a typical AK-47 for sale in the US will only be semi-automatic. The only exception is a full auto that was registered and built prior to 1986. Even then the only way to get a full auto is to pay several hundred dollars to the BATF for the permit (if the local law enforcement will sign off on it) and then pay upwards of $15,000 for the weapon itself.
