Captcha can go to hell
Captcha can go to hell along with all of its clones. I’m talking about the image verification code that you see when y ou are trying to make a comment on someone’s blog or if you sign up for a forum or newsletter. Initially, they were pretty easy to read but over time the bots got smarter and the image had to become more and more distorted. Well, the other day I was trying to register at a popular forum and I messed up the image 8 times. 8 TIMES PEOPLE. yes, I’m getting older (b-day in 2 days for anyone who is wondering 
), but man.
As developers, we need to think of something else.

I agree those deals are hard to read sometimes. Happy B-day by the way.

I completely agree. The question is what the hell do we come up with?

My bank has started to use simple pictures and asking what it is, like a picture of a donut or a boat or something…..
