is the register a legitimate news source? The copy makes me feel like I'm reading a conspiracy theory rag.
EDIT: It also doesn't help that their site is utter trash.
- laumars 13y agoWhile I wouldn't rank el Reg as one of the most respectable of online publications, they're usually better than this. I suspect this article was written partly as a joke (to be ironic or just "tongue in cheek").
- vidarh 13y agoThey're "legitimate" in that they don't tend to outright lie or write stuff they should know is wrong, but their overall style and tone is always halfway between serious newspaper and The Onion. E.g. they for years ended "everything" in all articles about Yahoo! with exclamation marks to mock Yahoo's use of exclamation marks in their name. Unless you appreciate British humour in general and sarcasm in particular, you might find them.. odd.
