The submitter never mentioned that the entire codebase was bad. Just that it was enormous (probably not well commented) and he needed to understand the program structure. Tools are helpful even if the code is well structured and easy to read, don't you think?
When was that? This is true of Delhi say 10-15 years but now the situation is much better. All public transport vehicles (buses and auto-rickshaws). The Delhi Metro also helps reduce pollution. 2-wheelers with 2-stroke engines were phased out long back (at least 5-6 years probably more) and eventually all of them will go away.
This is going to be effective only as long as it is not popular and not worth somebody's time to sit down and write a script to convert it into a genuine image.
How difficult is it to translate this matrix into a normal image? Not very difficult I am afraid.
The article is about someone asking for 'freelancers' to sit and clear the captcha challenge for about 50 hours in a week. It is NOT about bots clearing the challenge, it is about hiring humans who will do it. The poster is willing to pay around 30-100$ per week per person and this is a decent amount of money in (say) Indian rupees.
Captchas are designed to distinguish between bots and human beings. How do you distinguish between genuine users and hired people? You can't.
Nope. That doesn't look like spam. Looks like some bozos with very poor English copy-pasted from their standard template without understanding what the requirements of the 'project' are.
Is it just me or does the report actually fail to mention to mention Linux even once?
The actual whitepaper does not mention Mac or Linux even once. But somehow the article's summary on the sophos website automagically arrives at Mac being the right answer.
Not windows does not automatically mean Mac, does it?

I recommend SafeBoot. It is extensively deployed on all laptops in my client's company and it works great.
What about the Tata Nano?

I recently started using a laptop docking station (with an external monitor, mouse and keyboard attached to it).
I use the laptop screen for email and chat and the 19 inch monitor in vertical (portrait) orientation for code, documents, browsing etc. Works great!

Isn't this very very old news? I think Google Trends was launched at least a couple of months back and possibly before that.

No need to fill up the form to download the whitepaper. Just download it from the following URI: http://www.sophos.com/sophos/docs/eng/marketing_ma terial/SophosSecurityReport_2005.pdf
Just a trivial case of Google Hacking.
