CAPTCHA May Finally Be Dying. May It Not Rest in Peace.

At first, CAPTCHA felt like a simple and agreeable game. You played it quickly, strengthening your bond with the rest of mankind, putting off the day machines will roam the Internet freely, and perhaps come to rule over us in some dystopian Matrix-like future, and went on about whatever mundane task you'd been trying to do—buy concert tickets, post a comment, whatever. It was a pleasant interruption, like a kindly stranger asking you directions before you went on your way.

It started off ok but now some of the words are barely legible, well not that its words anymore just a random collection of letters.

So long Captcha, it was nice knowing you but I won't miss you.

Yeah I never liked those things. Couldn't help but notice that they never seemed to work - every site I registered with to get support for software etc. that used these increasingly annoying tests seems in my memory to have been completely unable to avoid spam, whereas older sites like Subsim with no such test seem to avoid spam rather well. Obviously it pops up from time to time and I'm sure a lot of work goes into preventing it.

Regards,
Sam.
