[I'm afraid I can't help you, FR. You see, ywe're mostly from England, so I don't know enough about Brazilian drugs outlets to help you. Sorry about that.

Actually, why do you say you're in the US when your IP traces you to Brazil, you give a Russian email address and your board language is set as Albanian? I think you may be a little confused.

So long

some must be involved somewhere

but of all the things to 'hack' into a forum only to post that, pointless. someone must be doing this, what a waste of time.

there's just one thing i don't understand about it, how does it help to digitise books.
and can anyone answer my original question?

The reCAPTCHA system uses a form of Captcha, where you are presented with a word which the automatic Optical Character Recognition software that they are using to digitise books has had problems reading. If several human operators all put the same answer for this word, that's probably the right answer.

As there are millions and millions of people typing in answers to the reCAPTCHA systems every day, this means they can process an awful lot of the 'tricky' words very quickly, thus digitising books for the long-term benefit of lots of people. It also means that there are lots of new Captchas being generated, so the atomatic bots trying to get into Fourums and mail systems can't learn them all.

And has reCAPTCHA ben broken? Well, not broken, although some people have had limited succes in attacking it.

What's this got to do with the Broads Cruise? - Not a lot.

And I am not getting Red Underline on any mis-spelt words, I wunder whi?
