HELLO

WHY WE HATE CAPTCHA IMAGE VALIDATION

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha

Just looking at them makes your blood boil. Half the time it isn't sufficient to be a human being to translate them but you need some bizarre and useless ability to read words sideways/upside down/squinting/cross-eyed etc.

Worst offender in history: rapidshare's cats. Thank fuck rapidshare ditched that vague attempt to limit downloads or I'd still be waiting on Now That's What I Call Music! 59.

At what other stage of my life will I need the talent of distinguishing between a cat sitting on a letter G or standing horizontally on a number 8?
