I'm annoyed when sites require you to register in order to access certain parts. It's one thing to mandate authentication if a user is modifying or submitting content, but to for things like downloading sample code it is ridiculous.

If you run into this situation, go to Bugmenot.com, type in the domain of the web site, then try one of the registered username/passwords. If you can't find one that works, you can register yourself, using a temporary email address of course, and submit your registration information to Bugmenot.

Yet another victory for the web community.
