</div>But they trade it in for registration, with those awful, awful<br>
CAPTCHAs.<br>
<br>
They don't just distinguish between humans and computers (sometimes).<br>
They also distinguish between flawless humans with perfect vision<br>
and expensive monitors and real life humans who can't see the<br>
poorly contrasting colors or can't distinguish letters with a<br>
font size of 8 pixels. Some have letters right on top of each<br>
other.... what order do they want it? Gah.<br>
<br>
It invariably takes me two or three attempts to get those stupid<br>
things. Thankfully, the popular Re-Captcha ones are among the<br>
easiest to read, but that doesn't help when someone still uses<br>
the green on red with purple stripes and tiny font variety. It's<br>
been a while since I saw the Google captcha, but I remember it<br>
as being nearly impossible.<br>
<br>
<br>
The worst part is they come back post-registration too! Vile.<br>
