How about BugMeNot.

Alternatively, here are direct links to the files: DialerXT and DialerSK (for Skype). I'm not sure if these would work for everyone. I'm including them because this way would be much simpler.

http://bugmenot.com/ useful website people always neglect to mention for logins to websites like nytimes.com :(

Today, a pure form of hacking would be to read the article without actually being a registered user.

Using BugMeNot makes me a 1337 h4x0r!?! Kewl!!!1!

:-)

As has been mentioned several times already, you can get a login and pw combo to view the article from here:

http://bugmenot.com/view.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. nytimes.com

There has also been a registration-free link posted:

bugmenot.com will give you passwords to use to get around lame registration requirements

don't be silly, http://bugmenot.com/

My company is now blocking BugMeNot. The SmartFilter category is "Criminal Skills."

http://www.bugmenot.com/ Useful firefox extention, provides access to most reg required news sites as well as some random others.

NO, haven't YOU figured it out yet dipshit!

Just use bugmenot and you will never have to register for nytimes, latimes, washington post, and others. There is even a handy-dandy firefox plugin that will enter a random registration with a right-click, click on the login page.

Bugmenot gives you tons of logins.

ff extension from http://www.bugmenot.com/ and you spare yourself from this kind of stuff

That's "registration" required, not "subscription". Free registration for many/most NYT articles has been required for ages, and is just one more good reason to have a BugMeNot plugin.

Exactly, and if you're forced to sign up for something, either use Bugmenot for anonymous login information, or Mailinator, for throwaway email addys.

The solution for all your registration needs...

Are you aware that Bugmenot has a firefox plugin?

I just right click in the login field, choose BugMeNot, wait 3 seconds for a login to be retreived from their servers, proceed to read story..

Thank you bugmenot

that hasn't stopped approximately 1/3 of all U.S. companies from employing email monitoring tools.
Why not link to the source for your source (login)? The ITFacts.biz story got it wrong anyway: "33% of US companies monitor employees' e-mail" is wrong--the direct quote was "Almost 33 percent of 140 North American businesses..." You and ITFacts were off wrt the number and the sample. Oh, and the Tribune article was merely a syndicated column, using data from a nearly year-old study. Not exactly news. Where did I find that out? Look, it's ITFacts.biz! Yep, TFA was a double post.

Let's continue because we are not done fixing your post:
43% of those companies employ staff to check outgoing emails.
Wrong. It's "more than 43%" of companies with over 20,000 employees (not 43% of monitoring companies), according to the study. The one-third figure expands the sample to include all companies.

It is also worth noting that the study in question was sponsored by ProofPoint, which in fact sells monitoring software. So you could say that Forrester had a financial interest in high-balling the figure (which it appears they did, with all this "almost 33%" business).

DTV is not dropping Tivo. DirecTV was purchased by NewsCorp which is owned by Rupert Murdoch as we know. One of his other companies happened to be working on a DVR already. So yes, they will be offering that as an option as well.

But... the NDS DVR isn't out yet and DTV is still actively promoting Tivo both on-air and through combo deals to sign up for service. DTV's contract with Tivo lasts through 2007, and even then they can't just drop Tivo overnight. By the end of January, Tivo had signed up 3 million subscribers, and approx 2/3 of those are DTV subscribers. DTV would be foolish to drop support for something that 2 million of their customers know and love, especially since even if the NDS box is free, if it has problems or just doesn't live up to Tivo, there will likely be a customer backlash.

Take for example Comcast's own foray into DVR land. Users were less than satisfied [login required] and as a result, Comcast recently struck a deal with Tivo to co-develop a DVR based on Tivo technology.

Meanwhile Tivo has released a SDK and encouraged Java programmers to develop applications to make Tivo even more useful. Imagine shows like Survivor! that auction off props at the end of the season for charity being able to send you directly to Ebay on your Tivo!

There are also rumors of a partnership or aquisition of Tivo by Google for an as yet announced Video search/play on-demand product. Tivo already has a partnertship with Netflix to explore and develop technology for on-demand movie downloads.

Tivo needs to work hard in the coming months, but overall I think rumors of Tivo's imminent demise have been greatly exaggerated.

No, that's what http://www.bugmenot.com/ is for.

..Or you could use bugmenot. Users across the internet sign up for these "you must sign up in order to view this content" sites. They have a bookmarklet that makes things even simpler.

I love Bugmenot.com, gives you all sorts of logins for sites that require you to register.

Login here, enjoy.

That's my local Best/Worst Buy, and my bank is right across the street @!... oh, and did I mention that I need a CD/RW for my mom's machine this weekend...

Maybe I should have my wife arrange bail now !

Seriously it is right up the street... and also seriously, does BB have any idea what's going to happen now that this is making the broader news (/., CNET Buzz, others) ??? I can just picture cash drawers at BB all over the country filling up with $2 bills (what slot do you put them in)...

Wow. Best Buy gets slammed for what seems to be fraudulous billing practices, poorly trained cashiers, idiotic managesrs, while the overzealous rookies in the BCPD get slammed, the Feds get slammed, and the $2 bill gets the best publicity it's seen since in years... there just SO much to love about this story (Thank you Michael Olesker!) (Obligatory BugMeNot)

there was more than just the ink smearing. it was that plus the fact that the bills were in sequential order. the police weren't arresting him because they thought $2 bills didn't exist. they thought there was a likelyhood the bills were counterfeit given the fact that the ink smear AND the sequential #s.

of course the poor guy explained he was a tour guide and often got stacks of $2 bills from the bank. even gave them the # of the bank to verify. best buys have horrible customer service. we all know that: http://www.bestbuysux.org/. but it was the police response that was shocking.

i guess in a town like bolesta, cops are in favor of retail stores more than the individuals since they probably pay more of their salary.

here's an article from the local newspaper: A tale of customer service, justice and currency as funny as a $2 bill. might wanna goto bugmenot to get a login to bypass registration.

BugMeNot.com was created as a mechanism to quickly bypass the login of web sites that require compulsory registration and/or the collection of personal/demographic information (such as the New York Times).

It's one of my favourite Firefox extensions.

Their moment of triumph was sweet but short-lived.

Vazquez and Aranda graduated from Hayden last spring, but they're not in college now, Davis writes, because they're illegal immigrants and thus ineligible for student loans or cheap in-state tuition. Vazquez is hanging drywall and Aranda is filing papers at a Social Security office. Santillan and Arcega are still at Hayden, Davis says, but their prospects for college also look dubious.

mmediately, they had a problem: When Aranda lowered Stinky into the pool, they realized they had a leak. Not only did they have to re-solder every wire in the machine overnight, Vazquez told his teammates, but they also had to find something absorbent to keep moisture away from the circuitry.

"Absorbent?" Santillan asked, recalling countless TV ads. "Like a tampon?"

Soon, Santillan was in the nearest supermarket, trying to work up the courage to ask a young woman for advice on which brand of tampons might work best in an underwater robot.

The woman laughed and made her recommendation. "I hope you win," she said.

That's why we have bugmenot.

Use BugMeNot on ExpertsExchange.

Try http://bugmenot.com/ and their plug-in for firefox.

Well, would you like a spambox?

It's very usefull when you dont want to give out your real email :)

Or for all those websites that require registration with email and that does not have a bugmenot account :)

As with software, there's ambiguity in the meaning of the English word "free". Most of the discussion here is focussing on "free as in beer". Price is important to many, natually enough, not least because of the intrusion required online to make sure you've paid.

But I suspect a lot of /.ers are more concerned with "free as in speech". This is often, but not always, connected to the pricing. "Free" newspapers are owned by businesses whose reason for publishing is to make money: if you're not paying upfront for the paper, then all their revenue is coming from ads, and they thererefore have even more need to keep their editorial policy in line with their advertisers. It's already been pointed out above that supposedly "independent" news media like the BBC aren't all that independent: running a news site really well costs money, and the BBC is still reliant on an increasingly pushy and spin-loving UK government to pay its bills.

Having a no-charge business model also puts pressure on costs, and makes getting cheap or "free" (i.e. no-cost) content all the more attractive. The independence of the reporting can suffer as a result. The NYT has coincidentally just run a story about how the White House is pushing pro-government "news" stories to the networks, paid for by the taxpayer, which don't always clue the viewer who produced them. This isn't necessarily a conspiracy, it's just "good business". The same conflict of interest exists in a corporate-owned newspaper, online or hardcopy.

I think many people attribute a sense of mission to their news provider. Some people think FOX tells it "fair and balanced", and watch it for that reason. Good for them. I personally would rather watch Bullwinkle re-runs than FOX News, but that's beside the point. Consciously or unconsciously, a lot of people believe that their favorite news provider is mostly "telling the truth" about what's going on in the world, and are unable or unwilling to see conflicts of interest, especially when they're unaware of how their favorite news provider's business model works. I simply don't believe that a GE-owned news business is always going to tell the truth about what GE gets up to.

The one large-scale attempt that I'm aware of to build a global news network which is free both of corporate and government control is Indymedia. Their quality varies anywhere from excellent first-hand reporting, to the truly awful. Freedom is like that: you have the freedom to write something which some people really want to hear, and other people really hate. The US and some European govts have been cracking down on Indymedia lately, which doesn't bode well for freedom of speech. This is true even if you don't like Indymedia's anarchist/left-wing editorial policy: people have the right to report the news as they see it. You equally have a right to redress if lies are told about you.

So the Indymedia model is far from perfect. How then can an international news network operate which is free of both corporate and government interference? If 100% free-as-in-freedom news isn't possible without a regular revenue stream, then how do you at least maximize the freedom AND the quality of the content?

PS: BugMeNot helps you skirt around that "free" registration with the NYT.

I didn't register to download it

Well, whoever does, share the wealth.

Bugmenot's page on Gamesutra. Bugmenot is a respository where people submit pre-registered names/passwords for sites so that people can bypass the registration thing.

You know, just so I don't blatently rip them off a break copyright law by posting the article's text.

...a Microsoft High School is being built in Philadelphia. (Here's your bugmenot credentials, if you need them.)

I look forward to the first time the place is brought to its knees by malware and they have to send the kids home like it was a snow day.

Nope an even better solutions is bugmenot and mailinator. Fill out the form giving really goofy information and for the email address use the (companysite)@mailinator.com. If the company have a confirmation link just check it at mailinator with the login of the compnaysite. Save the information to bugmenot and share the joy. I think there should be a profit step somewhere.
