No Flames, but I would give oscar +10 ignore on the scale above as it is 
posted on /. (www.slashdot.org) with no registration needed.
If went through the pain of registering with NYTimes and subsequently get

subscribers), because of a subject I am already educated on, I would be very unhappy.

No Offence Oscar.
