I would like to see the provision of communication down telephone wires treated as PROVISION OF ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES, so that we were not isolated when the DSL or ADSL connection was lost. BT is very casual when that happens and non-BT customers are helpless. Most firms simply cannot operate without a broadband connection; it is now essential.
I hate the big picture at the start. You are not selling newspapers from a newsstand so you do NOT need them. They obstruct and delay access to the words, and I do NOT read the Reg for pretty pictures but for words. I appreciate the words. Add pictures only when relevant to a topic I have already started reading.
Mr Auditor, I noticed that too, but no-one else has mentioned it. The Reg quotes Shostak as saying there are "at least half a dozen worlds . . . in our solar system . . ." and then reverts to planets and galaxy.
Maybe The Reg got it wrong; maybe Shostak is trying to excite congresspersons.
