Actually, failing Turing tests is my job. Seriously.
CAPTCHAs should be modified to be more like this anyway: Internet Access CAPTCHAs
Why the hell do they have to make them so hard to read? Is a comprehensible font somehow easier for a computer to make out than wavy-Gs-that-look-like-Js? I’m neither colorblind nor illiterate, and it’s still not unusual for it to take five or six tries.
I have no problem with the concept, but the execution is so poor that I refuse to use any site that requires them unless I have no alternative (such as Ticketmaster). I can’t be the only one. Hopefully enough people will eventually vote with their feet… er, fingers… and a better system will go in.
There’s always another method for detecting bots.
It is because I am cool and I have pizazz.

Yeah. And I’m just business-as-usual Tommy Lee Jones.
Right. I can generally read them, but this almost always happens to me. Or so it seems.
I hope whoever invented them ‘captchas’ a case of the clap. Just for coming up with this silly ebonics phrase.
:dubious: At the risk of whooshing - how is that ebonics?
