Do you ever see this?
I saw it and I didn't click it fearing it was a a virus.
It blocked mt Mac for a while but later that evening (now) I was able to post.
Just a friendly word of caution. IDK if it's legit or not.

The interesting thing about those Captcha's is your actually solving
a problem for the developer.
Those 2 images are images that a OCR program could not decipher the numbers
and letters. After X amount of people enter the same thing from the images
it will take it as the correct numbers and letters/words and update their database.
Most of the time it is addresses for Google from their roving cars. Google hires the developers service.
The developers idea was to take the wasted time people use to fill out
Captcha's and do something useful with it. It adds up to some ungodly amount of
time total people spend world wide enter info in Captcha's
I thought was interesting.

ok well if i see it again I'll fill it out. I avoid clicking stuff if I don't know what or why. i thought it might be a trick.
From the copy, it sounds like computers with viruses trigger the captcha.
