Nowhere does it mention where the results are and how to access them. Until I see results of their work, or at least any references to those, I am not convinced participating in Recaptcha does any good to the world.
So, you leave tip largely based on custom rather than on service? You never leave tip in a "sit down" fast food place, even if waitresses were especially helpful? And you do not consider yourself "inept" I suppose.
Yes, I myself do leave tip, just because in school I learned it's a good idea to follow traditions of the place you're in. But each time I do it *not* because of service, but because otherwise I will be accused of being inept. As for service, rarely is it any different than fastfood joints' with minimum wage waiters, and often it really irritates me with fake friendliness. It almost feels like they are being extra friendly to you because they know you're likely to leave bigger tip.
In any case, I'd much rather tip the chef for good food than a waitress for asking me questions and otherwise distracting me. But hey, I can't do that, tips are for "those poor waitresses" on less than minimum wage.
Hmm... That's interesting. What's the big deal with tips then? Why does everybody always leave tip in every restaurant they visit? If customers do get service you describe and if they expect to get it that way, why is tipping such a tradition?
Please don't tell me "those poor waitresses..." Nobody leaves tip at fastfood places, even when they bring you your food and kindly ask you "how many ketchup".
I got rear view mirror in Toys'R'Us. It is supposed to be a mirror to watch a child on a back seat of a car. I just put it on my monitor and it does the job.
Still, it is legal in US to talk about lock-picking. It is even legal to own and *sell* lock-picking devices. Despite their primary use being opening locks.
It is even legal to own guns. Whose primary purpose is to kill people. And yet laws don't forbid it. You can *talk* about killing people in any creative way you want. It's "freedom of speech".
And yet don't you fucking dare to talk about weak encryption in commercial products. They will be after you.
I would like to see how someone would wear a precious belt buckle he got from his grand grandfather that says `I hate niggers'. Really, no one should be offended, it's simply grand grandfather memory.
Certain things offend people no matter what your personal thoughts about it is. Kiddie porn is not generally accepted no matter how personal it can be to your grand father.
What does media add into music that you can lend your CD to a friend and you can't give him an mp3 of it? Say, can you lend him your harddrive with your mp3s? Of course nothing will stop him from copying them to his machine. But nothing stops him from copying your CD as well. As digitally and exactly as he wishes.

Where can I find books that were digitized with the help of Recaptcha?
I tend to think using Recaptcha just earns somebody money, it is not really doing any particular good for the world.
No, it's more like comparing The Bat! to MS Outlook.

Here's the better proof that R^3 and S^3 are not homeomorphic. Here it goes:
S^3 is compact and R^3 is not.
Vim is charityware. If you respect author and his goals, send him some money. You have his personal guarantee that the money will be spent right.
You can use Paypal to send money to him, although it is not the preferred method. Postal money order is preferred.
:help iccf has all the info about that.

Right on brother.
Let there be a new law in US that says: "any foreigner we don't like shall be put in prison".
You can trade as many US citizens as you like after that!
My point actually is it makes more sense to fix a broken law than look for workarounds.

Well, we might get an even day soon. We haven't had those for quite a while...
