Are CAPTCHAs getting harder and harder for you to solve?
« on: March 30, 2008, 05:15:04 AM »
Half the time there's at least one or two letters or digits that could go either way.  Does this mean I'm a robot?

Every now and then I have a tough time with them, but I know people who can like never get them right.

I didn't even know there was a special term to describe those things.
There will probably come a point where computers can figure them out better than humans so they'll have to stop using them and try something else.

I saw a site the other day that had pictures of 4 vehicles and had the caption "click the image that is a truck." I thought that was nice.
