I hate captcha

[vshah]

Captcha sucks, it's just a matter of time until spambots break each new twist and can register anyway. All the uber-unreadable methods do is stop humans. You can usually stop bots with a simple series of Y/N questions that humans can get through in 10 seconds without any hassle.

watson would break that so easily...

I get that damn thing all the time on my Droid when I log into gmail.

This is a google apps/gmail security function that bothered me for EVER. If you keep getting the captcha when logging in its because your password isn't strong enough. Took me 7 months to figure this out... google apps support SUCKS btw.

This is why, as a web developer, we use our own version of CAPTCHA. We take a lot of flak for it, since everyone seems to want to standardize the Internet ("Use Facebook for account login!", "Use recaptcha for security!", etc.), but at least ours is readable.

Some of them are easy to read and others like the one shortylickens posted is horrible and in some cases, impossible to read.

I emailed it to the webmaster and he was like "dude is that we're using on our site now? What the hell? I'll go ahead and set up your account myself."
