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.
