I think The Register can be hilarious. I found that about a 6 out of 10, 1 being "oh my god that's so bad my ears are bleeding!" and 10 being "oh my god I laughed up a lung!". It just wasn't funny and like hell I'm reading like 6 printed pages worth of mildly amusing drivel.

The message I got was that on one hand organizations like the military don't act fast enough, while police officers are encouraged to think so fast that they stop reevaluating the situation.
