Meanwhile, I, in my ADHD state find that an increasing number of captchas tell me I'm not human. I'm thinking of making a shirt. "Failing the turing test since 1982"


I usually have to try a captcha 4 or 5 times until I happen to guess right. They are just getting stupid these days.


As somebody who has devoted a lot of hours coding up a way to efficiently and quickly defeat a captcha system, I tip my hat to these skillful coders.


I bet those people are living like kings in whatever east european country they are in.


this is awsomely amusing
