[KashgroundTM]

@oOCOLDFYREOo adblock...ffs

[dvainsench]

Man ...you are funny ... And you have that Woody Allen way of talking and

you are a funny meshugener ...and you are you and only you are you and captcha is ... I don't know ...you should explain it it again ...

[n3wtun]

protypers(DOT)com/?id=KDI

you can earn money by typing captcha !

its free and you can cash out using paypal

very fast

[codehackerzane]

I don't care what its used for its still stupid! It doesn't make a person want to post on videos, and it's like why bother even having it where you can post on videos if your limit to only 3 post at a time, most people post more than 3 post a time in the real world, thats a fact not an opinion.

[Loltoll420]

Lol to keep your "junk" out

[TheNigerianScammer]

I dont give a fuck what it is used for. This is punching actual humans, Bots couldnt give a fuck as they are not real!!!

PISS OFF CAPTCHA. its pissing me off big time

[rgregoryoa]

This is SPAM, Youtube didn't make me do a captcha

[sparkybigptalkshow]

Captcha used for annoyance

[freedybox]

i hate captcha

[harpuria]

lord inglip uses it to tell you your commands

[keco185]

I found a CAPTCHA with the letters in it spelling "CAPTCHA"

[zrafferty]

yea i hate them captchas more then 1/2 you cant even read

[Borisyoch]

SPAM will decrease because of commenting through Facebook? Why not create fake Facebook accounts and comment?

[x0myspace0x]

CAPTCHAs usually work but I hate YouTube ones. They never work on YouTube, I can't even understand which letters they involve.

[logiclounge]

It's to keep the crazies out.

[UltimateGamingFan]

i think we should have a indentification device that works on all sites like the key code thing that banks like HSBC are using now to login in to sites

[MrEddieBTV]

What do you think about Steve Woz possibly going back to work at Apple?

[Luther9621]

Chris, what is your take on using the iPhone tethering as your only Internet access point? I have cable Internet ad would like to get an iPhone for my home network. What do you think?

[quinny707]

Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork)!

[Arioster]

We invented SweetCaptcha , bec' of 4 reasons :

1.The current ones sucks ...

2. Design - we wanted the CPATCHA design look similar to our site design.

3. Fun .

4. Mobile - easy to use on mobiles - iPhone , iPads and Android machines .

check the WP plugin , and let us know what you all think about it :)

(just search SweetCaptcha )

[H3rBz92]

You make an interesting point about your facebook account being your identity, Chris. The idea of CAPTCHA is to try and prevent spam while keeping the user anonymity, if you choose. It try's to prevent anonymous people from spamming a w/site while allowing genuine commenter's to remain anonymous. I have a question for you. As facebook and social networking becomes more popular, do you think the net will lose a certain amount of anonymity?

[jonahirt1]

Interesting. I hate captchas!!!!!! And I thing using Facebook for comments is great as it not only deters spam but also trolling.

[MrGizmo757]

You know Chris, you are really getting annoying as hell these days With your loudness and over animated self. you used to Be much more calm. Love what you do But jeez. Take it down a notch. :-)

[guitardude2744]

I honestly feel like Facebook has way to much power. Soon, I think Facebook is going to be the only social network out there (besides Twitter cause its awesome) But, I do have a question for you? Will Facebook take advantage of there power and do something to screw over its users?

[AnotherNutJob]

CAPTCHA is too hard I often cant tell what it says and im a human.

[mikurej95]

spam spam spam spam spam. jk. i totally agree.......

[devlin0497]

oh my god there's no one behind me... are you seeing a ghost?! you did say he was creepy

[cirian75]

person behind me is drunk, as am I

[Mastersun88]

yeah I was getting porn spam it was so bad to the point where I got blocked from having adsense on my site but I fixed it and I got my adsense on my site again. spammers suck I hate them.

[falmatrix2r]

youtube uses damn code verification for comments

[SoulReaverForever]

Hey Chris how about talking on a few Facebook Aps what's the most adicting game out there. I play Zombie Lane really interesting that Frontier and Zuma Blitz. What game do you play?

[nzark17]

are u having issues

[jtwebman]

I like the Facebook and twitter comments but I wish they didn't use IFrames so search engines don't index them correctly.

[S1lv3rr0ck3r]

youtube solved this by "mark as spam".

[saltman90]

TO ANNOY THE *** OUT OF ME

[ghostwound898]

nice to see your not drinking 'captcha juice' for once.

[WeKnowMac]

Thumbs up if you saw the Call 4 Help reference.

[azzmch]

I think FAcebook integration for comments would be a good idea, however don't remove the built in comments altogether because there might be the odd user who doesn't have Facebook, or they would like to anonymously comment.

[nikolajea]

@azzmch i agree

i dont like facebook i logg in once a day for like 5 - 10 min and thats it

[dwaynekilbourne]

I still use CAPTCHA, but I recommend DISQUS more! Agree?

[poolboyinla]

Facebook is annoying.

[Sytrusze]

I hate spammers, but i hate CAPTCHA even MORE!

[steven71395]

Spammers a just f***ing losers

[raphael77ful]

I hate trolls and faggots like them who share sick links and make me sick. I think they should be tracked down and fined or jailed!!

[codel123456789]

atleast make it easier to get it right

[armandornd]

I like spam and eggs.

[galbmw]

this is a spam. it is intended to piss you off. blah blah blah blah now it will post mindless comments that will piss more people off and then it will get deleted while it has achieved nothing. oh and yea i pretty much agree with everything u say except fb. i have heard they can already crack people's pages without obtaining username or password. IF that be true then facebook isnt that safe either. i hope thought that is only a rumor.

[Supabof93]

It takes me at least 2 attempts for every CAPTCHA I've ever done. I hate them

[armandornd]

@Supabof93 Learn how to use correct punctuation right before you put up a comment.

[GunShip03]

I work for a company that provides free and paid Wi-Fi Hotspots to hotels. Some time we provide internet connections to venues for those hotspots and thus we have to give them a modem. We use D-Link modems and after you have typed in the user name and password it then asks you to type in a the word from a CAPTCHA image. Its so fracking annoying!

[givemethelotion]

"i am me on facebook"

[trashcanFB]

Your screensaver frooze !!

[DrunkGamerNerd]

Capcha is a big pain in the ball's.

[m0dm0use]

youtube capcha is the worst

[G3N3RALK]

i hate it when you get a really blurry one :@

[AndrewHume1]

this would be unneccesary if everyone got the IP's of the spammers (i-blocklist has a list of them) and just blocked them...

[twister7boy]

it's used to piss everyone off.

no need for captcha seance we have a report button for every comment.

i love facebook's no captcha.

besides we also have block buttons

[AnkusCooldudeTheBest]

hey can you please make a video to tell "Where are all the websites stored, all that data?"

[an80sGuy]

I agree that the only thing CAPTCHA is good for is pissing people off. I enter the CAPTCHA one time. If it doesn't work the first time, I don't use that website again. As for Facebook, people who use Facebook to post comments on the internet are total idiots. The best thing about the internet is that its always been anonymous. Linking your online activities to yourself, is just inviting stalkers to show up at your door. Or worse yet, some random crazy person who might disagree with you.

[MrNDUDE16]

Let's get some

[ProjectNReSource]

This got a Like as soon as you said "TO ANNOY THE PISS OUT OF ME!" I lol'ed.

i never make a mistake on captchas.

[LOTRzagorath]

You should check out XKCD comics 810 and 233 for cool ideas of improvements to Captchas ;P

[MrKayham]

What kind of printer - ink vs. laser - do you recommend for home use?

[rso]

@MrKayham random comment

[Project4Andy]

@MrKayham laser printers last longer and dont use up as much ink, ink printers are like Hummers ;) Get a Laser Printer!!! :)

[RizzyWow]

@MrKayham I can answer that =D ... if you want to use high quality paper like matte and glossy paper get a inkjet printer, but if you don't care and want something fast laser jet is the way =)

[KingKoreSpeedcore]

Yes I'm a spammer.

[KingKoreSpeedcore]

[Cirofost]

haha, "Junk"

[pbode24]

I HATE signing in through facebook--it doesn't look good, and i like to feel de-individualized when I'm commenting on random pages that I might not otherwise want people I know to find out I'm commenting about.

[cpucrash0]

Chris I don't like spam too but don't you sometimes spam facebook? And my wall gets all cluttered up with your posts since you sometimes seem to post one after another with advertising or other stuff? maybe don't post one after another and just wait a while to post another.

[AminaFilms]

I honestly think you should move to Facebook because you can just block those people if they keep spam away so I would go with Facebook.

[walruslane]

i hate CAPTCHAS

[TWolfKaden]

IMO its kinda useless, but supposedly the version reCAPTCHA helps "digitize" books. L0l so atleast i *think* im doing something good? xD

[DeathMetalDom1994]

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM. Its a very tasty food product

in a sandwich

[KartikSPradeepan]

There is a recaptcha which is currently unbottable, because there isn't a database for the words

[darkrigh3]

spam- (S) stupid (P)pointless (A)annoying (M) message .

[diedie531]

@darkrigh3 Actually spam reefers to the canned meat.

[xRaIDeNx69]

Haha, amazing!!!

My thoughts exactly Chris!

Xrumer = best artificial captcha solver

Search for it you'd be amazed.

[witch26071]

[jgq85]

I hate captcha, trick questions and copy/paste captcha's.

Sometimes they get bugged and I can't sign up to view an important thread in a forum, etc.

I don't mind Captchas that much, but it REALLY annoys me when it doesn't have a refresh button for it after typing a load of info for a forum signup and then I click "complete registration", page loads, ERROR you typed the wrong code...MOTHER OF PEALS!!!

[xMandalorex]

captchas are good but... as time goes on the bots are getting clever.

but i've seen a forum that has 3 captcha's and not a single bot so far in 3 yrs has signed on that forum. lol

the shit works... but one captcha is weak in this day n age.

[atom608]

Fuckin gay nerd faggit

[acekiller121]

@atom608 nerds rule the world >:)

[Acceptable76]

There very annoying, but I understand there for spam-bot security. I used to get non-stop spam bots on my website, put up a improvised Captcha, never had one again.

[Netherfist]

Captchas are pretty annoying but I can deal with them. The problem I have is that sometimes they make the captchas so damn difficult to read. I mean come on... is the word "yes" spelled backwards AND upside down...REALLY NECESSARY!?!?

[rgregoryoa]

@rgregoryoa ironically i had to do one of those to post this last comment

[samusaran11]

I hate captchas that are so fucking hard to read. Whats the point of a captcha when a human cant even pass it.

[scootsie119]

i hate using facebook for comments, likke vevo does. im not sure if the commetn gets psoted to my facebook too cuz i never tried it, but if i wanted to posty that comment on facebook, id sign into facebook and post it.

if youtube ever trys this that when i stop commenting on youtube.

[tERtasdf]

nice screensavers you got there

[StephenBecht]

The only problem is using Facebook is that people can always make a false Facebook account and proceed to spam regardless

[FatalityVirez]

#WTF okaaaaay!!

[jjjiiimmmbbbooobbb]

@lockergnome how bout surveys, do they really prevent bots from entering, and howcome i cant get pass them?

[Keith4Prez]

Good video Chris...death to the captchas!!

Freakin' hate CAPTCHA. I hate when YouTube does it, I hate it when Facebook does it and more recently - I hate when Windows Live Hotmail as well as the Mail client does it.

There's gotta be a better/less annoying way to prevent spam bots.

Hey chris, look you were deleted in this video haha watchv=LmHBntxcQDE&feature=fee­du

[FroogleGeek]

Twitter was terrible for a while. I'm getting sick of Facebook right now, if you post more than one link a day it seems like you have to fill out a captcha...

[santoro2020]

its also annoying when your registering for something and make a mistake and cannot quickly fix the mistake-you have to redo another captcha :(

[kris200998]

its fucking bull shit to make people go fucking crazy

[HenryMonmouth]

I was only just saying this evening that it really annoys me that in an hour of youtube I can be asked to fill in half a dozen sodding captchas.

[Tsylord]

If you notice the recaptcha "Stop spam read books" one of the words is something the computer already knows and verifies against and the other work is something scanned from a book that helps transcribe older texts into digital, something that's difficult for computers to achieve but relatively easy for humans

[MrMike0113]

Inglip. That is all.

[TheiBurley]

I like that CAPTCHA keeps bots out of the comments now. Yeah, people can still spam, but it's much harder now to leave your computer running a basic spam program. Yeah, they are annoying, and I wish I could do one to prove that I'm human and be done with it, but I also do see the point.

[j800r]

Yes Chris, the person behind me IS creepy. Especially considering I'm supposed to be living alone! 0.0

[LeadTrumpet1]

captcha drives me up the wall. I hate it, I try to avoid sites that use it but that isn't always possible.

[ovrkllproductions]

your junk: what no one wants to see

[cerebrux]

I totally agree for the annoyance of capcha... but we don't have the technology yet to get rid of spammers once and for all.... but do you think that we will have it ever ? Whats your opinion ?

[kylepolansky]

I like the idea of using Facebook, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to do this. Probably 90% of my friends aren't geeks, and wouldn't want to be bothered with random posts that I make on sites. I like to keep my Facebook account tied to stuff that matters to me, and all of of my friends. On other sites, my account is linked to my purpose on that site. As you can tell by my username, I don't care if people know who I am, its just I don't want it to be as easy as looking at my Facebook page.

[priceydude]

@piano22182 In the context of this video it is a program that automatically posts comments (generally advertising).

Chris, I also have a question for an upcoming video:  What do you think of Windows 8?

[stuntman45666]

OMG HOW TO BREAK CAPTCHA THEN1!!!!! X.X

[Stephanavich]

ur face

[iurea848]

here is another good ideea.....why hacking has become almost imposible these days....?

[snaiperis]

porn downloaders have mastered CAPTCHAS we can type 100 of them without one mistake....

[DevHQLessons]

They're mainly pointless as most of the time it'll just delay the bots slightly (assuming they're clever).

The more difficult the captcha, the longer it'll take a bot but the more it annoys your users. The temptation to use a really hard captcha is huge for me, however I know it just frustrates the users.

Also, at the end of the day, as you've mentioned - people can always be hired to break the captchas (I'm aware that there are a fair few people hired in India to do this kind of thing).

[lockergnome]

@DevHQLessons - It really doesn't cost much at all to hire people to do tasks like this overseas. Literally a few dollars an hour in some cases. To spammers, that is a drop in the bucket.

[iurea848]

I realy don't like that Zack Fuckerberg knows evrything about me....!

[lockergnome]

@iurea848 - Imagine what Google knows about you.

[tcpnet]

@lockergnome Imagine what Apple knows about you.

[Toedoog]

@lockergnome Imagine what YouTube viewers know about you.

[DXXDgame]

Argh Bad memories

i remember trying to sign up to a forum and the CAPTCHA was so confusing i was typing in for about 10 minutes till i got in

[kyral210]

wow that was a dumb advert at the start

[owen615]

Captcha should know humans don't like being told what to do. anytime 1 pops up, i close the freaking page.

[lockergnome]

@owen615 - That's what they're hoping spammers will do, too.

[owen615]

@lockergnome Haha makes sense. The Facebook log in idea sounds fine to me too, most websites are doing it now too. I prefer logging in with Facebook than reading "Log in or Register to post a comment/rate/answer a question on every website. So yeah I definitely think you should go with the Facebook idea. No one i going to creating new Facebook accounts just to spam... Hopefully. The internet is full of people with way too much free time!

[TacticOgre]

[ca280491]

IT SUCKS !!!

[HAYDENProductionsInc]

Chris, I got a question for a video. Where's the web headed?

[lockergnome]

@HAYDENProductionsInc - Thank you for the question.

[endlesstutorials]

@lockergnome that would make an interesting topic to talk/debate about

[Crashbndcoot121]

Captcha's are for verifying you are human.
