I don't even know why they offer visual and audio captchas, when I have come
across sites that just ask a basic question like:
what is five plus seven?
Apparently this keeps out computer hacks too.

Granted the issues captchas pose are extensive for several populations.
still, your idea of changing the user agent, no matter how reasonable,
seems to  sort of make you a hacker.  All the while this service continues
to misrepresent what access means, and if their twitter conversations on
the topic are any indication, limit access to a very small box.
there must be a more direct solution to this situation?
