We get a lot of links here for articles in sites like nytimes.com or washingtonpost.com, where you have to register to view the article. I came across this site today called bugmenot.com which provides accounts and passwords so that you don't have to create your own account simply to view an article. I've found it useful already this morning, and thought that other calgarypucksters might as well.
