the register is somewhat resemblant to the onion, last I checked. satire, if you will :D
The register is a serious UK-based tech news site. They occasionally stoop to posting amusing articles, funny stuff found on Google earth, anti-Wikipedia rants and even the occasional parody.

They are clearly very nostalgic or they would have fixed up that 1995 design already.

    If it works... :)
    This isn't a fuel engine, there is an element of aesthetics to it, or rather the lack thereof. The fonts look really crap on my screen at least.

    If the people who run it browse the web in lynx, then I understand, but otherwise..

    'All over this site' is a slight exaggeration for 'the top graphic on the main site' (that is, not the forum). Besides, that banner was not changed for a reason, it was a token of the site's history and tradition (which goes back to 2000, you know, when Davids played for Juventus..), ie. it was there on purpose. Have you ever seen a picture of Platini on a Juve site? Did you totally freak out? :p

    Besides, it's one thing for a fansite to keep their style, which is usually just a pet project of one person, quite another for a mainstream newspaper (which gets quoted _a lot_ by other sources btw). If you compared my old Juventuz layout to other fansites today it wouldn't lag behind all that much, whereas if you compare the Inquirer's design to http://www.guardian.co.uk/ (which is also a very simply design), or another publication with long traditions - http://wired.com/, it's a train wreck. :D

    MS Firefox 2007 delivers a dramatic boost in the download speeds of online pornography. By utilising a proprietary dynamic algorithm - anything that remotely resembles a tit or a boob will download up to 10 times faster. Fun at the speed of light!

    OMFG :rofl2:


    And btw, their logo sucks.
