That's something ... ( 2 years ago by menoziinrevoltado)
That's something amazing.
But I wonder how would it work...
Like: "Type in the next box what do you see"?
Array ( 2 years ago by jackalligator)
Good idea,
but it's wrong that tracking software in general gets confused by the noise, it is still possible to extract the "horse data" by making some time analysis, by deleting parts which change too much from frame to frame in the easiest case.

My best friend is blind and uses the program JAWS. He does computer programming and does more with a computer than most anyone. He's a pure genious though and has overcome so much. Sooo...yes people should and do surf the internet.

When you have trouble proving you're human, something is wrong. Now how long will I have to wait for this captcha to download?

@menoziinrevoltado
yeah, I was thinking about this earlier.
bot could learn with those Questions and bots could even make a copy of that animation and matches the one being shown..
so there's no really escape with smart bots.
I still can't think of way of stopping bot spammers but just to moderate the comment. Block IP addresses, make smart word filters, etc.

When did I even mention anything about my problems? Everything I said was positive. Either you're retarded or just a moron.

No one cares about you having having a blind friend, it isnt our problem. That better for you?
No it's not better, ... ( 1 year ago by 10sup10)
No it's not better, because it shows you're even more of an idiot. The person I commented and mentioned my blind friend had previously commented and said how blind people can't use computers or something.......and then he/she deleted it. I wasn't complaining or spilling my problems to YouTube. Way to be a worthless asshole, though. There, that's better.

Honestly I could ... ( 1 year ago by HaligonianType1)
Honestly I could care less if bots spammed the channels. It happens still anyway, even with the bloody captchas. For the past three days I have had captchas for every single message, and I post alot., and I'll have to do a captcha after this as well I imagine. I'd rather put up with the odd channel spam then captchas.
It's fucken bullshit, and it's not necessary for the words to have so many characters and be warped so much either.
The story that this ... ( 1 year ago by fertilizerspike)
The story that this technology is being developed to "stop spammers" is riotous in the extreme. All this "captcha" shit is just a massive parallel development of computer recognition technology. It isn't about stopping "spammers", it's about evolving software until it can, for example, recognize a moving object in a field of "noise". It's a great way to defeat the new camouflage technologies.
