Fill Out CAPTCHAs, Digitize Books At The Same Time

alphadogg wrote with a link to a Networld article about a noble endeavor: putting CAPTCHAs to work for the good of humanity. A scientist at Carnegie Mellon is looking to create a new type of security check that will assist in a project meant to digitize and make searchable text from books and printed materials. Above and beyond that, the offering would probably be more secure than most current systems. "Instead of requiring visitors to retype random numbers and letters, they would retype text that otherwise is difficult for the optical character recognition systems to decipher when being used to digitize books and other printed materials. The translated text would then go toward the digitization of the printed material on behalf of the Internet Archive project."

CL4 VS CL5

[Anonymous Coward]

Hello,

Last week I bought 4GB of Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 memory running at CL4. I'm pretty happy with it, except for one thing: I want 8GB.

So I started looking around at the same store (in order to do an exchange) for a replacement and I discovered that the 4GB kits are all CL5.

Does anyone know what sort of hit I should expect from moving to CL4 to CL5?

Thank you in advance!

(please refrain from commenting on 4GB vs 8GB, that would be off-topic)
