That solves the issue for your particular use case, but doesn't impact
the weaknesses in the business model.  And if you read the article,
you'll see the story is about Slate now charging a 'premium' membership
for the right to have the article on one single page instead of spread
across multiple page views.  I'm surprised the New York Times hasn't
thought of that one.  Hell, maybe they have.
