I've been given to understand that Mr Page of
El Reg is in fact a former Lt (RN). He occasionally makes comments that suggest at least a passing acquaintance with some elements of the military, but whenever he discusses something I have professional knowledge of he is usually wide of the mark.
The Register is a good source of rumour on what's going on in IT and some of its writers can be very insightful. Others, less so - whatever you think of Lewis Page and defence affairs, Andrew
Orlowski does a hundred times over for open-source and copyright issues.
