1199615	2011-05-05 13:48:00	I hate these things. Half the time I can't discern one of the words, and the other half of the time the words are so darn obscure that you can't intuit what it's meant to be anyway. I have to agree with the OP. The dictionary used is stupid.	Paul.Cov (425)
1199616	2011-05-05 14:04:00	actualy, you only need one of them correct - the trick is knowing which one is the "fake" The ones with a tilde or accent are "fake" as are ones with a symbol etc... (these will pass thru the recaptcha process no matter what characters the string contains) if the first word is the "fake", just hit any key to type a random character, then a space and type the second word. If the second word is the "fake", type the first word, hit the space-bar and mash a couple random keys and press enter :) I usually just refresh the recaptcha image a few times till I see an obvious "fake" paired with an easy to read word to type - makes it much faster to do it once then! lol	bevy121 (117)
1199617	2011-05-05 21:11:00	I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds them very annoying. ReCaptcha was the one I was talking about and the similar Blue one. But as another poster says those other captchas which use random letters and numbers are also very annoying as it is hard to tell if it is a "1" or an "l" or a "0" or an "O" So I hope the people who make these capthapas read this post and take note. As I say I understand the need for them, just make it so that the average person (or programmer) can read them first time.	Digby (677)
1199618	2011-05-06 00:48:00	Digby - if you use my method, you'll find it a breeze to get past the ReCaptcha pretty quickly. After you done it 2 or 3 times, you really get to know what to look for to see a fake paired with an easy to see/type word, which usualy only takes 3 or 4 image refreshes. ;)	bevy121 (117)
1199619	2011-05-06 00:53:00	@Bevy121 Gee I just re-read your post about the fakes and I see you what you mean. Up till now whenever I see those tildes, and punctuation characters I have always hit refresh, but sometimes you need to do this quite a few times. Your method sounds great. I can't wait to try it!

1199620	2011-05-06 01:32:00	btw - if a word has digits (numbers) in it... that's also the fake lol and words that have punctuation (like "what's lost,? punctuation!") and words that look like they were partially un-scanned and a few more ways that get a little less reliable The above methods are (almost) %100 tho	bevy121 (117)
