If you're using Firefox, get the useragent switcher extension and add this to it:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html [google.com])

A lot of registration-only news sites will let you in as googlebot.
After all, they want to be indexed..
Oh, and don't put in the [google.com] slashdot autolink bit.
