I've been reading along, very informative :) I found Osama within 20 seconds and as someone posted already, looking for his head wouldn't be much of a task for a computer.
It's just for if you want to keep "normal" people out ;)
Has anyone tried cracking/hacking what Microsoft has done with the animal pictures? That seems rather easy for even preschoolers, but a human non the less. They have many people working on this exact subject, and being paid I'm sure more than what its worth, but is there even a discussion if they have the answer? Other than the completely blind, anyone can tell what a cat is, and they could even take it further by added a bark or meow or something similar. Can a computer tell the difference between a bark and a meow? Each animal has its unique vocal tones and cry signature... just as a human (who's not impersonating, which as long as its not a picture of the mocking bird.......), does this help at all? Instead of relying on our own known dictionary and numbers.... Everyone knows about animals...... My 0.02 Jake
<snip> I know about the microsoft way, but I wouldn't trust a Microsoft CAPTCHA program.. :P MD5 is quite successfull here, since they aren't modifieng the image in any way. Everyone knows animals, but if you then you can't use this CAPTCHA on any site on other language, unless you of course translate the names of the animals ;) I think I'll start with some kind of SCAPTCHA (Super CAPTCHA) soon..
