Beginning to really hate more and more often being required to decipher those gawddamned (double) words that are distorted and have a line drawn thru them, when registering for the first time on a website, downloading software, or if you happen to fuck up typing in a password, user/screenname, and/or email addy to enter a forum,website, or messageboard, ect...
I mean...I realize that it is becoming increasingly necessary to do so, b/c of the very highly sophisticated bots, web bugs, and spiders crawling the www nowadays, and the owners, admins and/or managers of websites are trying to keep that type of spammer and malware-laden shit out of their servers and hair, b/c time is $$$ and cleaning up and clearing them out, once they have gained entry somehow is expensive and time-consuming.
But even when registering for gaining entry into an otherwise inaccessible website or secure page, it also usually means that not only does one then need to create a password and often a username, but provide a legitimate email address as well. Some of the more "anal" websites aren't even permitting "new" members to register while using any "free" email addys like Hotmail, Gmail, or Yahoo! email anymore. Then you usually are obligated to log onto your email provider that you used to register, to retrieve their acknowledgement/verification email while hoping that the email didn't get sent to the spam or trash folder, or even bounced back to sender, if you have a sophisticated email setup that uses heuristic filters to throw out what it considers to be spam or unsolicited crap from ever reaching your inbox.
So what is the real need or point for a fucking "captcha"anyway, if you can't or won't gain access to their fucking website after AFTER you open the registration email, and then also (usually) needing to click a link enclosed within the email in order to successfully register? Oh and btw, if you don't do so within a certain period of time (24 hrs most often) then the link expires and you will have to start all over again...meh. If for some odd reason the link fails, (and that has happened to me more than just a few times) then that will also cause the need for you to re-register...sometimes having to use yet another "new" email addy and/or username,b/c your first failed attempt@ registering was saved in their database, and you will get a popup message with the notice that the email addy and/or username has already been taken...lol.
I think that I found a software program that permits bypassing captchas a few weeks ago, but I was downloading other stuff at that time as well, and now damn if I can remember which download included it, b/c the finished (sometimes they are even zipped or compressed) downloads that I save, often aren't very descriptive, (like just "setup.msi" or gibberish.exe or zip)and occasionally I have even forgotten why the fuck I downloaded some of them to begin with, especially IF I don't (unzip) install them soon if not right away. I have found lots of useful free stuff to install on my several Windows OSes, over the past several months but I am going to have to create individual folders and add descriptions to them,b/c I often will take a week or more before getting around to installing some of them.
