The Register's entirely serious New Year's resolutions for 2016

55 73

and, of course, amanfromMars (see amanfromMars1), Reg's cult philosopher and commenter, would scarcely keep his own consulate in a dull and dusty village, but founded it here, on these humble pages. A Shakespearean, representing an idea of an electronic personality, one of the most sophisticated and mind-breaking ones, which one could meet in the Net.

Top stuff w0rdplay that deserves own page on a regular basis. I would type 55 73 with a special pleasure tonight.

Lose the Big Picture

That big graphic at the top of each article is annoying and demeaning. It's a waste of space and bandwidth. When you first introduced it with your other changes a few months ago I felt sure there would be a strong negative reaction and waited for it to go away - or at least reduce in size.

Now I just use Firefox "Block Images".

Checking... checking... Nope. Still unhappy that you drop-kicked Worstall.

Irrelevance beckons

"[...] less SHOUTINESS, an evolving sense of humour, more modern and global cultural touchstones, science coverage that gives proper prominence to peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and a recognition that attempted self-aware hopefully ironic sexism is almost always indistinguishable from actual sexism."

That appears to be, in effect, a complete surrender to the fundamentally irrational notion that subjects can be ruled unfit for discussion.

We've loved The Reg for many years. Don't give up your opinionated quirkiness and don't lose the puns we've come to love & hate!

I'm not so keen on the infobyte. I like print and in-depth. There's too much pabulum in the world already!

That would explain THIS abomination.
