BugMeNot

If you hate having to register at a news site just to read one article, check out this website. Just enter the address and it gives you one of several login and password combinations. I've used it a bit and it seems to work with most sites.

Firefox users might want to get the BugMeNot extension to make it even easier to use. Then you just have to right-click at a login in box at a website requiring login and choose BugMeNot to generate a login and password, which are both then pasted into the boxes.
