Free or not, its still annoying, and requires you to answer intrusive 
questions. sk is far from alone in being put off by that. That's why 
many sites (eg: slashdot) have a policy against posting links to 
"registration required" sites. That's also why there's a little 
mini-industry around getting around the nytimes registrations.

For instance, one can get oneself a randomly-generated registration by 
going here: http://www.majcher.com/nytview.html (you have to save-as the 
webpage and load it from your system as a file, as the Times has blocked 
registrations from that web page's domain).

Also, one can bypass the registration entirely by clicking the "NYTimes 
Registration Bypass" link at 
http://galeon.sourceforge.net/bookmarks/browse.php?category=News

Also, if you really know what you're doing (and what you're looking 
for), you can use Google to find it, and get in that way.

btw: Using the first method, I got access to the story. I won't bother 
to post it here because, while it is a bit scary, I don't think its 
close to being on-topic here.
