Complain Here About How Much You Hate The CAPTCHA
I want to have something to print out when I go to my bosses with the suggestion, “Hey, how about we get rid of the CAPTCHA.” Right? Because the only good thing about it now is the audio version of the words is impossible to understand, therefore screwing over blind people. I’d like to see how the spam filter works without it, though I’m considering just having everyone register so I can harvest the information of Ron Paul’s supporters and sell it to the Illuminati. So go ahead. Unless you like the CAPTCHA, in which case you can write that, too, but you really enjoy pain, don’t you? |

Oh, and it digitizes books. But, seriously: Fuck books. All long and shit. Boring!
I plug in the wrong, but similar, letters and it gets accepted, assuming they are human readable.
If I am going to be properly digitizing books I want to get paid. Screw Carnegie Mellon University and the asshat who came up with the whole catcha and the even worse recaptcha - Luis von Ahn. I hope that all of Luis von Ahn’s kids will be dyslexic as that would be a good part of the punishment this evil SOB deserves. There is a special place in the Bill Gates wing of hell for you Luis von Ahn!
Just have people register. How hard can it be?
Gawker, Gothamist, etc. do it and it provides a better user experience and creates more of a community. Plus it it give the finger to asshats like Luis von Ahn and his ineffective spam control techniques.
you dont even need to type the real words, half the time…just the same amount of letters
but yeah, dumb dude
testing that you don’t have to type the right words…
holy crap you don’t have to type the right words!!!!
That’s awesome. Captcha doesn’t bother me, if I can’t read the words I just reload until I can. If it could be like how blogger is that’d be cool. Like, captcha if you’re not registered and the rest of us losers can skip it.
Here are the e-mail addresses of Luis von Ahn and his personal assistant Susan Hrishenko. This is public info although you have to fill out one of the asshat’s recaptcha things to get it. This will hopefully generate some deserved spam for him as well as make this information easier to find by those with disabilities so they can tell him to go to hell.
Luis von Ahn: biglou@cs.cmu.edu
Susan Hrishenko: susan027@cs.cmu.edu
My guess is you have to type *one* of the words correctly (or maybe closely)? I always thought one word was for book digitizin’ and another was the turing test. I am somehow unable to use fake words to post this one.
You have to type in letters which are similar in nature. That is the key to subverting the evil Luis von Ahn and his evil dyslexic hating plot known as Recaptcha.
Testing commenting while logged in.
Does this mean registration will be arriving soon?
Holy crap, my two words were “sound” and “street,” and I asked CAPTCHA to play it back for me, and I got what I can only assume is a recording from inside the TV in The Ring.
That was fun. I say keep it.
Nick, it is not fun for people who say have dyslexia, hearing problems, etc.
If you have ever seen Luis von Ahn on TV, you’ll see that he is a pompous ass who thinks he is providing a service to mankind despite screwing over people without realizing it.
I think the audio sounds like Satan.
Why are captcha’s stupid letters all screwy? Why can’t it be a jpg asking users to type in the name of the animal on the photo?
And has anyone come up with the great idea of creating a captcha font and
and finishing comments….
rewording Animal Farm or something to that extent into a captcha form? I call that art
