ISP bluesfor BugMeNot, the site I just told my colleagues about. It was booted offline, but now is back online. When someone like a Journalism teacher is busy checking out online news and comes across a site that requires registration, BugMeNot is a quick alternative. Instead of scrolling through the often multiple page registration form, one goes to BugMeNot, and types in the site URL. Bug then generates a user identification so you can just get to the article you want to read.
I'm not against registering for sites like the NY Times that I use all the time, but when there is an interesting story in a local paper that I may never look at again, BugMeNot is the time-saving solution. Wired News: BugMeNot Gets Booted, Restored
