  1. Will this help the general use of captchas? by James+A.+E.+Joyce · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know that captchas in use at Yahoo! such as The Gimp and Trotsky (cute names, heh) are effectively OCR proof (~20% success rate, IIRC) but what about the security codes which have been used on blogs? As a Movable Type user, I'm concerned about the recent spate of crapflooding caused with this script and even though the implementation of captchas as security codes has slowed the advances of crapflooders, are there any other forms of image verification in the pipeline which we can use?
