Superiority

'...exactly what sort of products was set to roll out...'

@ac 20:44 and Presidential Duties

Douglas Adams* mentioned the point of a president is to draw attention away from power rather than actually wield it - though to be fair he was referring to the President of the Universe

How many?

IIRC The BBC got two complaints about R&B after the show (i.e. before the media went hatstand about it), so looks like poor old JC is going down for a long stretch!

We can all relax again, safe in the knowledge that the quality of comments on El Reg will once again have no lower limit.

Nothing to do with anything, but happened to put on some music long since ignored and read the last of these comments to:

worth viewing YouTube content / one seventh of all YouTube content

Guess I'm not the first, but just wondered.
