-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Chris, I agree that CAPTCHAs in their current incarnation are broken but I don't see how your solution addresses the problem. It is easy for the computer to figure out which part of they keypad corresponds to which number/character. If it isn't obvious from the source-code, then it just does OCR against the button images (and we're back to the current problems). Greg P.S. I should note that there are several trojans out there now which record not only the position of mouse-clicks but also a snapshot of the pixes around the click specifically to defeat the protection you described above. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) - WinPT 1.2.0 iD8DBQFIBSzY5KDU23nQpRcRAtDFAKCFzi9nxjWAnUrob79V2bKCYfDR2wCfUmZV vyHMN3byP7Y+S4eC6ucdsN4= =l7uV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
