Don't Make Me Log In
Do you hate websites that make you log in for no good reason, like the New York Times? Well I sure do, but now some ingenious folks have solved this problem:
http://bugmenot.com/
They provide over 58,000 websites worth of login names and passwords so you never have to make one up again, and if they don't have it they let you pay it forward by creating one and telling them about it so they will have it next time.
If you're using the Firefox web browser they provide a plugin that will automatically fill in login name and password fields, avoiding the need to even go to their site and look one up - no typing required! Enjoy.

Wow, Thomas, I may even use this suggestion. Now that Jack has my computer moving at a terrapin rate instead of a snail's pace, I do a little looking. kk
thomas, i had to comment again on this one. i tried it when trying to access the dallas morning news' website. it worked! however, i cannot find the firefox plug in. can you provide a link to it or the name?
thanks!
Hmmm... The link for the Firefox extension is on the main page of http://www.bugmenot.com - just look for the words "firefox extension". However I just tried the link to the firefox extension isn't working right now. Try it again later, and hopefully it will.
