Ever wanted to register an account on a website only to be stuck on the stupid captcha verification thing for half an hour... Where it spits out a randomly generated picture with a bunch of distorted letters and numbers on it that are impossible to read, and yet somehow you are forced to have to squint your eyes and type what you think it says?
I f**kin hate those things. |

I hate the one where you're suppose to check mark pictures of cats that are mixed with pictures of cars. I took that like 3 times once cause I kept missing one.
But yeah those things are so annoying. Especially when you have to go to that site often. |

Nah. If you get stuck, can't they play a sound file for you?

What pisses me off are the ones that are case sensitive, but don't bother to tell you that.

Omgash, I hate those things. I thought I was the only one that got stuck on those things for hours on end. Well, okay, exaggeration, but yeah. The least they can do is make them more coherent. :(

I've never really had a problem with those. The most I have ever not been able to do is probably two in a row.

i hate the ones on hotmail.com when you forget your password... and it has lines all over the place and you can't tell if it's a 1 or an L or an i and or if it's just a line. they do have a sound file, but my computer at work doesn't have speakers grr.

I hate having to do those things whenever I'm commenting someone on myspace. They really need to stop putting all the funky patterned backgrounds.

OMG I hate them too. I don't mind the non pictures ones like on myspace because the picture ones are very annoying. I usually give up.
I hate when I can't tell a 0 from a o or a l from a 1 because the text looks so weird. I don't like captcha but I love it because it stops spam. It's like a love/hate situation. |

Captcha is my worst enemy. I hate when they have a lot of Os and 0s, or when the letters/numbers are all really close together in the box, so you can't even see any of it. =/ It's lame.
But I guess I'd rather know that my account was safe or whatever. Right? |

Yeah, I actually don't care about protection or anything like that (because I'm not a big myspace user). That is pretty frustrating. What's funny is when they're jarbled to a point that there's no way you can read them.. Or when they make funny words. |

I don't really come across captcha often but I don't care for them...It's ok for security purposes I suppose but they could at least give you enough info and make it legible so that it won't give some people a hard time

^ It's to honor two really active members who left CB.
The person who invented captcha is a computer science professor at CMU. My boyfriend has him. Apparently, he's brilliant. But when my boyfriend told me that he invented captcha, I was like, "Omg. That invention is so freaking annoying." |
