  1. No More New York Times Stories Please by ObsessiveMathsFreak · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm really sick of this. Why are we being subjected to this ignorent free registration again and again? The New York Times (insert witty pun on free registration) articles are a rotten egg in the Slashdot omelette. It stinks!

    Please stop posting links to the new york times eds. For the amount of ad click they'll get, the NYT should be begging us to come in free of registration.

    And no, I don't think I should have to go to the trouble of using bugmenot.

    That hurts. Not only rejected on a story well before it showed up on the main page, but it was duped!

    People, in general, disappoint me. Politicians even more so.
