Hit a paywall. Is there a way to get around it?

Thanks.

    I worry that the closer the world gets to our fingertips, the further it gets from our hearts.

Great article. I often find myself preferring the safe distance digital communication gives me, even though I know face-to-face interaction is more valuable.

Yeah googling the titles and editing the urls no longer works NYT staff has entered 21st century -- tips anyone?

In firefox there's a way to set cookies to reset each session. This way it lets you view articles without being yelled at by NYT, but the next time you open an NYT tab it will have reset the article counter.

Didn't seem to work for me. Allow for session doesn't prevent the login popup (even after restarting ff) and Block throws up a big error thing.

insomniasexx kindly made a JPG of the site

Also, in the future it might help to press ctrl+shift+c, click the popup/element you don't want( ), let it bring you to the code, right click and then select "Delete node" :)

On Chrome you can right click, click inspect element, right click in the bottom thing on the highlighted element and click delete node.

That also works on the photograph obscuring pane of OkCupid.com

I hear.

Didn't work for me. The popup goes away but the article remains blurred out.
