While reading this Slashdot blurb about floater ads (heh, I said “floater”) I realized that people on /. looooove to bitch about the NYT’s “soul-sucking registration”, and will do so at every opportunity in an article intro. Do they just want to remain willfully ignorant of the NYT permalink generator and continue to rage against the machine? You would think that something like that would spread quickly among the nerdarati.
