Signing up for Gmail
I mentioned before how hard it is for the seniors I teach at the library to decipher the captchas required to sign up for an email account. So today we decided to click on the handicapped icon to the side of the captcha which is supposed to play numbers you type in (again to verify you're not an automated computer program). Well, the numbers play but in the background are some satanic sounding noises that are pretty disturbing. Are the tests just going to get harder for distinguishing between a human and a computer program? Like on Battlestar Galactica?Posted by Dave at April 8, 2009 12:34 PM
