Why the internet only just works (2006)

With all due respect, perhaps it might have been interpreted as harsh, but what was noted above is no less true.

I'll acknowledge there is not an overload of ads being displayed with the paper, which is cool. Also acknowledge that there certainly might be restrictions for distributing papers (a separate, possibly inflammatory topic)...but have you tried doing something as simple as printing the paper? On Chrome (windows machine) it prints out so disjointed as to diminish one's interest in reading the paper (offline of course). I just want to print this out and read it on the train ride home. I guess the intent of the site is ideal, but execution is less so.

It printed mostly fine for me (mac, chrome). It did not print the comments, which to be honest I'm not even sure about how you would go about showing the comments (which are often very large) in a printed page.

"Thanks, for me this was mostly another illustration how to make a website that doesn't." - sounds pretty harsh to me.

Well, but the site just doesn't. Not harsh, just truth.

I was unable to read the paper because an unclickable modal kept popping up asking me to subscribe.
