Couple of other options, albeit less convenient
1. Go to a library/coffee place/bookstore whatever with WiFi and
register for your account there without using tor.
2. Find a prepaid dialup card for cash.
Neither offer you anonymity quite as strongly, but then again, it
seems unlikely that you need it for digg.
