Getting in to that ... ahem ... other webmastering forum...
Most of you probably know that there's another prominent webmastering forum out there that often gets threads picked up by Google, but then when you click on the links it forces registration before reading them.
Well, I just ran across an article that tells how to trick websites into thinking you're Google. Anyone willing to try it out and see how/if it works?

Oooh, interesting! Any ways to get this to work for other browsers? I imagine Opera's user agent strings are stored somewhere that would be easy to modify...
You can also try bug me not
The Webmaster World passwords from there didn't work for me though so I ended up registering for it myself. (which we recently figured out was actually free and not paid as that page implied. Great interface design there! Not).
