About the all-gay high school, I think it’s wretched that tax dollars support it, but, really… gay, agnostic… What’s the difference?

Sounds good to me….

newspaperlogin
Here’s my idea, inspired by Gideon. I hate going through the (often ridiculously long) registration setup to get to a newspaper or magazine, particularly ones I doubt I’ll read again. I’m also unable to keep track of them all – I had a standard login and password for a while just for these kinds of sites, but then one said my standard login was taken by someone else, another said my password had to have a number, or was too short, or too long, etc. So, why not create a standard log-in and password that a group of people could use, something of a password coop. Whenever you get to a registration page, try this login, password, and email. If it doesn’t work, go through the process of registering this login so others can use it. You’ll save them some hassle, and at other sites they’ll save you some hassle. If you think of it, go by the email address every one in a while, just to clean out the junk the newpapers send and to keep the email active. I’ve tried to keep the information as simple as possible so that it’s easy to remember, but I think it is odd enough it won’t be registered already. If you’re interested, here’s what to use:

Login: newspaperlogin
password: 123456

email: newspaperlogin@yahoo.com
password: 123456

It worked at the New York Times, which I suspect has more registrations than just about anyone else.
