COSH.

I can't decide. COSH. Can't be right. Is he a Babylon 5 fanatic, or did he just fat finger the keyboard when he's actually rolling in DOSH?

Kilograms?

Excuse me? Have I gotten lost and wandered into the BBC? What are these "kilograms" doing here? Bring back El Reg's standard of weights and measures!

Dell and Wal-Mart team on TV installations

Andrew

barf.

I guess there are a few "upscale" 'marts around in the Dallas suburbs. One of them is dubbed by the local populace "The Gucci Walmart." I could see Dell going over well with the $60,000 millionaires in these parts.

Freetard begets Freetard

Freetard is the new "IT/Paris Hilton angle" I guess. I'm amused by the term, though. Does that make me 12? Probably so. Carry on! I drip with anticipation on what another self-righteous twit will object to.
