Yeah, me too.
And even more humilating than being probed by a computer if you're not is looking at a picture, and don't be able to give a clear answer, because it's not obvious if there is a thing what it asks for or not:."...that wee yellow dot way down the street
could be a taxi... -
"
[...was this derived from fuzzy-logic?]
It also doesn't matter that not in all countries all taxis are always yellow... yeah, well, either you're with us or you're with the terroists. Right. Naturally. Of course.
It could be an interesting idea to produce not-US-captchas.
E.g. "check all boxes that contain european but not german cars"
or "check all flags of countries that are in africa."
I'm pretty sure this will not only increase safety
and fun on the internet but also could really be educative.
But one have to live with this shit. Once established anybody copies it.
It has to be good. Since everybody else has it. The majority must be right, because they prove their intelligence regulary.
"Eat more crap. Billions of flys cannot be wrong."
As a result by now I have several online shops where I don't buy nothing anymore.
I can't. They force me to buy elsewhere, because they locked their shops - not because I don't pay or have a bad reputation or whatever, no just because "pros" "designed" their webpages.
Of course also my motto is:
If you really want total safety for your computer remove CPU, powersupply and all disks from it.
Absolutely nothing bad can happen to that machine!
(Hammer or baseball clubs are also approbiate to do the job.)
And nobody asks:
"In the last five years you bought stuff for over 5k in our shop. From one day to the other you stopped buying. Why?"
(Wtf they want "Big Data" for and collect all those masses of information if they don't even take a peek into their own f#c4in management system !?!)
....back to topic (sorry):
Yeah, well, this could be the right approach.
I carry along my firefox directory for many years now, from several systems.
Maybe it's muddled too much and it's just time to give it a fresh start.
Thanks.
