How to Prevent Form Spam Without Captchas
UnderAttack writes "Spam submitted to web contact forms and forums continues to be a huge problem. The standard way out is the use of captchas. However, captchas can be hard to read even for humans. And if implemented wrong, they will be read by the bots. The SANS Internet Storm Center covers a nice set of alternatives to captchas. For example, the use of style sheets to hide certain form fields from humans, but make them 'attractive' to bots. The idea of these methods is to increase the work a spammer has to do to spam the form without inconveniencing regular users."

I think you'd find Slashdot very much more trivial and redundant if all non-Americans left.
Indeed. I would miss the self-righteous off-the-mark diatribes about how we should run our country. I wouldn't be able to get my daily fill of hubris from people who think they are superior in every way. I don't know what I would do.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
yeah, yeah I have. I helped run and manage a family antique shop for several years, then got out of the business to do more interesting things.
It's not about being 100% independent, it's about being as independent as possible. It's about all the small shit that YOU take for granted. It's being able to take a hot bath without worrying if you're going to boil your nerveless legs off, get an infection, and die. it's being able to cook your own meals, at least once in a while; or get your own groceries, or buy the things that other people are buying. Why does a disabled person have to do without, or beg for help from someone? And what if there -isn't- anyone to help, an all too common situation? Shit, my buddy can't even leave the house without someone to help him right now. He's got a visiting nurse who is nice and brings him some fast food once in a while so he can have a bit of variety.
If you're running a small enough shop, being ADA compliant isn't hard anyways, and can amount to a ramp and a handrail. Get some lumber, nails and a hammer and do it yourself! Shit, grants and tax incentives are even available for that shit! And offer assistance to the blind guy or girl, don't tell him/her to fuck off and learn to read. If you don't have regular blind customers, wait until someone asks before you spend the money on braille if you're gonna be cheap.
Goddamn, it's not asking you to suck a dick and buy a ferrari for every cripple who walks or wheels into your storefront! Just let people do their thing, regardless of their physical abilities! It's not about making a ton of money, it's about DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR PEOPLE. And yeah, yeah I DO have a right to be your customer. You cannot deny me custom in your public shop because of my race, gender, religion, or physical ability. That's the law. You have the right not to sell and expose yourself to a lawsuit, but I do have the right to enter your shop until you tell me to leave.
You know why it's law? because without the law, nobody would do it, because so many people are amoral cheapasses, particularly business owners. That's why we developed employee, child labor, and consumer protection laws - business owners weren't exactly chomping at the goddamn bit to be nice to people, not when it might cost a few dollars off the top.
