I hate those things. Always missing the teeniest, tiniest corner of something it wants you to find ALL of.......... grrrrrrr!!!

I hate those things.

It seems that most people do, and I can definitely say that the blind community is particularly enraged, and justifiably so, by those that do not give any non-visual option, and there are more of those than you'd think.

Just like I'd gladly pay extra to fly on flights where the security screening was what it was pre-TSA, I'd gladly pay extra to skip Captchas. As the article points out, soon we're going to be at the point where almost any conceivable Captcha will be machine solvable anyway. They've never worked all that well to begin with.

I literally just encountered my first of these types of Captcha this very morning. At the top were three "dot shaded" black and white images of a panda's face. Below that was a multi colored background, somewhat like a quilt, with images of various animal faces superimposed on it.

Then, after having followed the directive correctly two times, I was still given one of the checkbox style captchas asking if I was a human.
