I hate online newspapers these days

ALL of them anymore require registration. Do a news search on Google and it pulls up tons of apaers that have their own registration, so to get news you have to wade through having so many registrations that it's getting rediculous. Plus, so many of them get so personal about registration now-several of them want name and address instead of just an online account.
Enough already!

type in the URL of the online newspaper and they may have a username and password in their database for you.

2. www.bugmenot.com

They have email/password registrations for most major sites. If you have Firefox, I think you can download an extension that signs you in automatically.

3. Great!

I never heard of them, and didn't think this had a solution. Thanks both of you!

5. The problem with bugmenot

Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 03:35 PM by salvorhardin

that I've found lately is that many of the sites are now apparently culling bugmenot registrations from their databases so it's often impossible to find one that works.

A better solution might be to create a common login shared among all DU users but Skinner may not want that posted anywhere here for legal reasons.
