CAPTCHA

Dear CAPTCHA,

I can't read the words. But even if I could, is this what separates me from a computer? I always thought it was something more, like:

- my sense of humor
- ability to go swimming and not short-circuit
- that I hate vacuuming
- acne

Could we incorporate some of those tests to determine that I'm not a computer? The only thing I have in common with machines is that we both hate CAPTCHA.

Sincerely,

A Real Person

  1. If captcha really worked then why is it getting more & more difficult to understand what words you're supposed to type? I don't think the guys who came up with the idea thought it through.

  2. I'm so glad you posted about this. Half the time I can't see what the letters are because of their stupid font or shading. It's getting worse, too.

  7. Word on the street is that the captchas with two words, you only need to type in one word and the other is just a dummy or something. Yeah, they are stupid.

  10. I've devised a special programme to help me read captcha, because I - the human involved - can't quite read it...

  11. I hate captcha. Half the time I'm note even leaving comments because I'm off the page and it's still doing whatever it is that it does. :(
