  • who knew signing up to porn websites contributed to society!

  • @jimmayl1 He said in another interwiew that they found out that it takes the same time to type two english words or a set of 6-8 random characters, cause obviously you concentrate longer to get the random characters right, and you can tipe the two words faster. So yo are spending the same average of 10 seconds while contributing with the digitalization.

  • Where are these digitized books posted, have somehow adverts near? that would mean we make somebody richer :D

  • Really amazing, started with a great idea, identified the issues and made better in a 2nd unrelated field! Security and digitizing books, who would of thought of that!

  • lolsuck my cock fag

  • @ReggaeChapin76 Tenés razon. :D

  • @TheCanadianLemur No, I'm actually using my common sense. Computers can operate on you (roboting hysterectomies at the local hospital), but they can't read wavey letters? Please. They really do think we're idiots. They wouldn't go to the trouble of thinking up this splendid lie if it weren't for a reason.

  • @1robinsong2 You're fucking retarded.

  • -"computers cannot read distorted texts"

    -"computers cannot read captchas, so typing one proves you're a human."

    I'VE NEVER HEARD MORE B. S. in my LIFE.

    Down the road there are about 20 billboards next to our local hospital, advertizing how great it would be to get your uterus removed by a robot. That's right--they now have robotic hyserectomies so fail-safe they boast about them on billboards.

    And you want me to believe a computer can't read distorted text?

    What's their hidden agenda?

  • @GFAethna As long as people get educated on this matter then they will know to all substitute the right swear word where possible, use less common ones to pass the filters and it's all good.

  • @MuieBute Bayesian filters and as mentioned "10" people verification prevents you from doing stupid shit like this.
