How the hell is that for security
If captcha's are being used for "security" then that is the real WTF! Captcha's are used to distinguish humans from computers, not to secure anything!
Apparently that's a matter of definiton. I call distinguishing humans from computers for security, obviously you don't think so... :confused:

I didn't know that you were the lead developer on that project. Sorry to have knocked your product... ;P

I'm rubbish at them "figure out what this mangled collection of letters and numbers say" thing that supposedly tells a website whether you are a robot. Is it just me that find them too confusing?
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...
They had that conversation about Sheldon too... I don't think a consensus was arrived at, and Sheldon remains conflicted.

reCaptcha is an attempt to use humans to digitise books that have already failed OCR
I don't believe that for a second. First of all: reCaptcha will accept your input even if it's not 100% correct making the input text unusable for "human OCR" purposes. Second: How can reCaptcha tell if the input is correct or not if it doesn't even know itself what the text is? :doh:

Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932I'm a blind person and obviously sites using capchas without offering an audio alternative is a total bust. Sites like Linkedin which I was foolish enough to register on offers an audio alternative, but I am convinced that nobody in this whole wide world will be able to make out any word in the gibberish sound clip. And guess what, you need to fill in the capcha randomly when logging in. Since I can't get logged in, I can't cancel my membership. Evin if I could get in I guess I'll have another one when trying to unregister. :sigh: :doh:
