Slashdot Mirror

Please fill out this form and post all of your answers to Slashdot as a reply to this comment. It would be inherently immoral (not to mention hypocritical) of you to refuse to do this.

no i didn't RTFA since i haven't registered.

bugmenot is your friend.

[NYT=Check soul at door]
Not with Bugmenot (http://www.bugmenot.com/)
And if you are using Firefox (as you should be ;), look here http://extensions.roachfiend.com/index.php#bugmeno t

Or if you are running Firefox, like you should be, you can just get bugmenot! It gets past all those free reg requirements by using accounts that people have chosen to make public.

If you want to read the NY Times without registering, try BugMeNot. Free browser plugin (FF and IE) that lets you log into registration-based-sites without doing all that privacy-invading registration business.

If you don't feel like registering, just go to BugMeNot. Does the trick every time. Even better, get firefox and the bugmenot plug in.

I use http://www.bugmenot.com/ for all those "subscription required" google news items.

Its called bugmenot and if you had done your homework you would know that its also availiable as a Firefox extension meaning passing through NY Times security will take you about 1 second.

97% of NY Times employees use this to log into the NY Times website

BugMeNot.com
Get the plugin.

http://www.bugmenot.com/ offers a way around this stupid registration requirement for this and many other websites. For example, I just got in thanks to them using the following:

user: suckerdj
pass: suckerdj

If enough people start using bugmenot, these bastards just might stop requiring us to give them our life history to access a bit of information.

Or you could use (courtesy of BugMeNot:

Account #1

Username: f6ckoff666
password: fuckoff

Just use BugMeNot.com and read the New York Times (and over 43,000 other sites) without disclosing your personal information.

there's also nothing forcing you to sign up for your own account, when you can use http://www.bugmenot.com/

and for all other registration required stuff....

bugmenot

Even has extensions for firefox and ie. I'm sure most of you already know about it, but in case you didn't, here it is.

BugMeNot

Both IE and Firefox extensions available. This copy/paste might be useful if you formatted it instead of karma whoring for first post points.

Or, you could simply use Bug Me Not. It even has a firefox plugin.

The whole Sell your soul to the NYTimes to Read is getting old... actually it was old a year ago, and now its simply ridiculous.

Or, if you don't like registering to read NY Times articles, just go here.

I recommend you to read All This, and They Take Pictures, Too, an interesting article by David Pogue. He compares twelve digital cameras with a street price under $300. In case you need to register, there you go.

Here's a login and password.

Sigh.

BugMeNot

Sounds like you need BugMeNot .. comes in IE, Firefox and anything-supporting-html flavours.

www.bugmenot.com/ For one click for a pop-up with both username and password for annoying free registration sites add:

javascript:void(window.open('http://bugmenot.com/v iew.php?mode=bookmarklet&url='+escape(location),'B ugMeNot','location=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scroll bars=yes,resizable=yes,width=385,height=450'))

To your your bookmarks bar.
Karma Whoring OFF!

If you would like to read the article but don't feel like registering you can as always use Google's NY Times referer or checkbugmenot.com for a login and password.

diy muh man

Someone already registered for you

If your lazy, get the firefox plugin

If you're a slow learner or at work, get the IE extension

http://www.bugmenot.com/, asshat.

http://bugmenot.com/

People who don't like having to register should REALLY like this, because it makes it less meaningful for sites to have these stupid registrations. So don't bitch -- use Bug Me Not and fight the system.

Use bugmenot's firefox extension and avoid time wasting forms. http://bugmenot.com/

better mess their database with a form-with-crap-filler or use bugmenot.com

Ever heard of BugMeNot?

More at the NY Times (soul stealing subscription required)

For crying out loud, people... Slashdot should be the source of the bugmenot craze. You don't need to worry about subscriptions when you have it. And it has a firefox plugin to make it EVEN EASIER!

Wait... is this just something 'cool' to say, like putting a $ in Microsoft? Cause... in that case... YOUR AN IDIOT. :-P

One document obtained by the AP, a 1998 U.S. government business solicitation, mandated that "any color printer must include a tracing system that encodes system identification in any output. This will tie the output to the originating equipment so that forensic identification of the equipment is possible in the event of illegal printing of currency images due to failure or circumvention of the recognition system(s) ..."

What really surprises me is that this didn't break into the blogosphere back in October. It didn't even make it into the Slashdot thread! But at least there's some resiliency in the system of Internet democracy -- at least the story made it out anyway in under two months.

But it does show that we live in a soundbite/headline world. This information was hidden in plain sight on a front-page CNN story. Nobody who cares about privacy saw it (and reported it, mea culpa), or everyone who saw it didn't care about privacy.

Just in case someone doesn't know: http://www.bugmenot.com/

Or you could just use Bug Me Not! The Firefox plugin is especially handy!

Feel free to hijack this thread to complain about how slashdot is going to the dogs these days... I remember the good ol' days when they used to run real live interesting tech stories...not some

I don't know how new or groundbreaking photoblogs are for readers, but as a working professional photographer I find mine to be a valuable venue to try out experiments, or show personal work (in my case, really personal work), or just air pieces that I've done that clients might be too timid to publish. I think, just as "normal" blogs, they're probably an intermediate evolution in the publishing paradigm, a transition from editor-mediated publishing to a direct creator-consumer relationship. At the very least they represent a handy way to share my artist's sketchbook with readers who want something a little more "raw" and direct.

You can check mine out at dailysiege.com. Sorry, standard warnings: free reg. req., try bugmenot.com, and most definitely not safe for work, or for kiddies.

No accounts found for chronicle.com.

For sites that do not require $$$, this site is great, but unfortunately this one is a pay for content site.

From the BugMeNot.com FAQ:

Our policy forbids accounts to paid services from being posted. However, just like a discussion forum, if you happen to find one then email and it will be removed. Privacy is not considered a commodity.

You could try http://www.bugmenot.com/

The form submissions do the following:

1. give names on the agree form that a human would interpret as disagreement, for example disagree_with_your_eula@notavalidcontract.com but which the web site still auto-accepts. If they aren't reading the logs and doing minimal sanity checking that would apply to real-world contracts, it isn't (as) enforceable.

2. Name, address, age, etc information is completely random and bogus. 99 year old woman with an annual income of 100000 and 14 kids and her name has no vowels. Technically she is still my agent, but she doesn't even exist and better yet they don't have my real name so it would take actual work on their part to find me.

3. Reset the cookies each time so they get their acceptance database filled with crapola. Submit many fake accepts that aren't subsequently used. This calls into question a company's diligence and record keeping.

4. All the click-to-agree traffic goes through some anon proxies so they can't track you by IP address. The proxies re-use cookies that had previously been accepted by someone else, so you haven't even had the EULA sent to your browser. bugmenot.com is an example of cookie re-use.

5. Enough people use the agree to disagree monkey that it calls into question that validity of radio button agreements and they become unenforceable.

6. Translate the URL into a reference to google's cache and you might be able to see the document w/o agreeing to anything.

Why editors still don't point to BugMeNot, instead of just complaining about the compulsory registration?

There's even a nice Firefox extension. Last time I checked, it was not on the official extensions page anymore, but you can grab it from the original homepage. It's working here, with the latest (0.10.1) version of Firefox.

useless link requires a login! Anyone have a mirror?

Try this.

I'd think someone cool enough to use a term "DNA Sample" for registration would be cool enough to know about bugmenot (they even have a firefox extension!).

I thought Bush has created more jobs, and that the recession was over. I can't believe the Washington Post would try to sneak such false statements into the transcript of the Presidents address at the RNC. They must be French owned.

BTW, Here is a login for the Post.

And before anyone get's pissy, may I remind people that flamers are joyless, humorless, SOB's. Don't trust a person who can't laugh.
