Ooo that's annoying

Right click on link -> second item down "open in new tab". No eh ? what ? why are you opening a new window ? I didn't select that.

Except I did because they've switched new tab and new window around from 3.x.

Consistency for usability ? Nah, overrated. :(

Hmm.. Google lessons needed for Libdems then ?

"Lucas said he'd gone shopping to buy Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter, but the first three pages of Google's search results all pointed to illegal versions.

"It was extremely difficult to find something that was legal ... I do not see why search engines should not be able to block these things.""

Hmmm... www.google.com, "Stephen Fry reads Harry Potter" entered. Top result, Amazon then Play then we start to get into the torrents.

What exactly is he putting into his google search ?

It's the wrong side of the Pennines Gromit.

Given it's the North West Vision and Media body it doesn't really matter what the Yorkies think.

Sigh

Member of RS defends creationism and says it should be taught in schools shock!

Except of course he didn't suggest any such thing. RS has clarified its position (which hasn't changed) and pointed out what Prof. Reiss actually said rather than what is being reported

Which amounts to that increasing number of kids are being taught this rubbish at home so wouldn't it be a good idea if when asked about it science teachers could give an explanation of why creationism isn't science. Presumably if kids ask about flat earth, FSM, aliens, homoeopathy etc. they'd get similar responses.

Paris because after this and the LHC stuff earlier this week she'd do a much better job of science reporting in the main stream media than the current lot :(
