Blah blah blah blah blah. But, you know, whatever. We don’t really know how anything really works, and everything I’ve said up until now is almost certainly bullshit. So just believe what you want to believe—at the end of the day your free will is just an elaborate illusion, and you’re going to die soon anyway. Now, where my bitches at?

Help! The captcha picture used to verify new users isn’t very clear!

Sometimes this kind of thing is worth a laugh, but more often than we’d care to admit they reveal some of our biggest failings:

Bots, and the damage they cause, are not the fault or responsibility of individual users, and it’s totally unfair to expect them to take the responsibility. They’re not the fault of site owners either, but like it or not they are our responsibility — it’s we who suffer from them, we who benefit from their eradication, and therefore we who should shoulder the burden. And using interactive authentication systems such as CAPTCHA effectively passes the buck from us to our users.

About Craig Anderson

By day, he works for ABC TV as a web dev­el­oper. By night, he plays bass gui­tar in Look Who's Tox­ic. He also runs a little Unix Time­stamp con­ver­sion site. There are plen­ty of other things he should be doing, but most of the time he's dreaming of what he'll do when he grows up while watching bad Star Trek spin-offs.
