I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to download a small file from Rapidshare because I just can't get past this idiotic captcha. I'm on my 7th try now, yay.



Here's an example link if you want to try your luck.

Thanks, but it's actually a harmless firmware file for my old and dusty PSP. I've had enough of pussies for today... (yeah, that was pretty bad. SCNR.)

CAPTCHA is getting to be like childproof caps were for a while, where they locked out their intended targets only because nobody could work them.

I saw this recently and eventually got a message on Rapidshare saying that I had tried incorrectly too many times, and to try again later.

I gave up.

I hate that stupid cat crap. I haven't got passed it since they started it a few weeks ago. Rapidshare stopped the bots and just about everyone else who don't have an account.

I think we'll reach the height of irony when people start using machines to decipher the captchas because the humans can't figure them out.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
