Nearly impossible to read that article with that stupid bar thing hanging over the text on the left side.
Firefox: View/Page Style/No Style turns the page into plain, readable text.
Think of all the effort someone went through, to take perfectly good content and deface it.
edit: oh, it's just a bit buggy. make your window narrower, and it disappears :) that makes it way better than most I've seen.
That's what it looks like to me with my browser maximized. How people design things like this and don't do a quick check to make sure it works well for different reasonable browser window dimensions is beyond me.
Totally unintuitive, but better than leaving it there, which is what most sites do.
