I can only hope that the prosposed National Identity Register implementation is managed in the same way - then we can finally scrap Wacqui Jacqui's white elephant ID cards for good

California to snatch control of citizens' air-con

Solar powered air con?

Why can't aircon be completely solar powered on a per-house basis? Surely on a hot sunny day in CA there is enough solar power to run the aircon all day and charge a battery so that it can operate all night.

It seems so stupid to burn fossil fuels in order to run a radiator backwards when the power is so obviously available from natural sources.

So what's in a URL? The Reg URL?

Title

The appeal of theregister.co.uk to me it its delicious British humour. It may be an internationally read site, but the content is dry, witty, tongue in cheek and all of the other things that .com isn't.

Losing the .co.uk in favour of .com would be like switching London Pride for Budweiser. Don't do it!
