[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] Help For Some Students Doing a Survey About Web Site Maintenance

[Matthew Jones]

I'll fill it out . . . But no captcha system can survive humans solving
them with low wages in Asia!

" . . .promising to deliver 250k solved CAPTCHAs per day on a “$2 for a
1000 solved CAPTCHAs” rate. "

It seems like the only point of captcha is to slightly slow the rate of
account creation and create "make work" low wage jobs.

And, of course frustrate, basically everyone else who legitimately has to
fill them out. :)

And possibly (in the case of recaptcha) help out on the problem of machine
translation.
