The situation has gotten way out of hand.
No I’m not talking about wii friend codes, no it’s not to do with the core xbox skew or the fact that when I asked a guy at my local EB when Halo 3 was coming out back in the day he asked ‘Is that for playstation?’
NO. It’s to do with these STUPID image verification steps when registering for things online now days.
They have gotten to a stage where you have to be a code breaker just to make sense of the damn things!
what?!
JESUS! I know we all cower in fear of the BOTZ that take over the INTERNETS and download our brains.But cut me some slack, I just want to register on the forums at www.littledogsincoats.com
As these images have gotten more and more unreadable over time so I think I will try and be cutting edge on this site and visiting it will involve new image verifications
It reads ‘Congratulations, you have eye strain!’
I read somewhere a while ago that that method of stopping the bots doesn’t work at all, that it sees right through it and in fact, makes it extremely hard for humans.
Found this place from 1Fort, got to say mate, your GF is probably the kindest person in TF2’s bloody masochistic violent world ^_^

I remember reading somewhere that it wasn’t so much the fact that Captchas were being cracked, but rather people were essentially being paid to fill them in, either in porn or actual currency. Good news though! There is work being done on a new form of Captcha that has you finding passages of text from various forms of literature, making the whole process much easier. >_>

Anyway, I’m actually hear to say that I noticed that no one has registered http://www.littledogsincoats.com. This surprises me, and in fact I may just have to register it and start an ad-powered picture sharing site for said little dogs.
