Hacker News Reader

...registration required to read...

The problem with registration news sites--they don't own the underlying news.

A nag-free copy of the same information: http://www.livemint.com/2009/07/24122026/De-Beers-H1-net-pro...

nah, just change false.html to true.html and chop off the redirect, like this:

One of the worst registration process I have had to go through. And you wonder why Newspapers are so f!@#^&ed. Their article is not even well written!

Clever little hack to get by the registration!

I paid for a year's subscription to the FT back when I had time in the mornings to sit and read it. Nice and relaxing but I realized I got most of my news via google reader anyway so knew most of the headlines before I opened it.

Anyway I canceled my subscription. That was about a year and a half ago. I still get a copy, every morning, without fail on my doorstep.

You should tell them you're "on vacation" from now until forever. Saves paper and keeps you from having to bother with disposing of it.
