Now Google's CAPTCHA Is Broken
steveit_is writes "Yesterday it was reported that Microsoft's revised CAPTCHA had been cracked. Now it's Google's turn.

You (but mainly parent poster) might be interested to know that the word is actually "amok" which is defined as a "psychic disturbance characterized by depression followed by a manic urge to murder."
Indeed, this is what it means to "run amok." Also refer to the classic Looney Tunes clip, "Duck Amok."

Killing people is wrong. Comparing people to pests is something that the Nazis liked to do, with the same intention: to pave the way for killing people.
(what is a 'muck'?)
Among other things, muck is horse manure. To muck a stall is to remove all the droppings and change the bedding.
The point of these Turing tests is to determine the difference between a man and a machine. Apparently google and microsoft can't do this. Its not the publics fault there are advanced in technology, if anyone Google and Microsoft should understand this.
