Give me one example of a site that doesnt work for you.

Filepile.

Most newspaper sites work for me, though, using the FireFox extension.

bugmenot has never worked even once for me. not even after going 20 tries deep into their alternative id/password combos. not once. national newspapers, mostly. I remember once trying to get into the Philly.com site to get an article I was real interested in, half an hour maybe more, nothing. probably tried it 20 different other occasions too, zip, nada, nothing.
could be a demographic-sampling/spyware thingie, where they i.d. the attemptor. but it’s useless whatever its real intent.
