I will begin

- ou only need to type the first part or the last part of a Captcha correct for it to function. The only part you need to type in is the text that is clearly not blurry. Text that is out of shape/deformed is a trick and actually does not need to be entered correctly

In order to open a new tab without right-clicking, you can use the middle-scroll button, try it yourself if you don't believe me!

A) This doesn't work with all captchas.

B) You're screwing up their system. The way the captchas (sometimes) work is that they give you a picture of one word, and the system knows what that word is, and a picture of a second word, and the system doesn't know what the word is.

The purpose for the first word is to find out whether or not you're human.

The purpose of the second word is so that after multiple users enter what they think the second word says, the system will now know what the second word says and be able to use it as the first word.

Now if you enter something random as the second word, you're messing up their system because it will think that the word reads whatever you entered even though it doesn't. The system is smart and will discard any entries that don't look anything like the other people's, but you're still contributing negatively.

So essentially you're helping them database more words when you enter the captcha.

^I guess that was the knowledge I'm sharing

Those who cannot share, take.

Those who take, keep.

Those who keep are packrats :O

I hate how pictures work on this site

If it compiles right the first time, just scrap the code because you'll never find the error. And there's -always- an error.

If anyone ever asks you if you're ready for the catheter, the answer is "No!"
