BugMeNot.com

Have you ever been annoyed by the compulsory “free” registration man sites are now requiring? Fear not, BugMeNot.com shall be your saving grace. Simply go to BugMeNot and enter the URL of the site you’re trying to access. It will then return a username and password that some kindly person has previously left behind for all to use.
No more giving your email address out to the Washington Post, New York Times, Philly Inquirer, Gamespy, etc. I, for one, really appreciate the service and I think it’s about time someone did this.
