A Spammer and A Genius
It appears that spammers are using sex to enlist human brain power to foil Captchas.
This is a Captcha:
Basically, the spammers have, "created a Windows game which shows a woman in a state of undress when people correctly type in text shown in an accompanying image".
The Captcha comes from a site that uses them to prevent spam, Yahoo comes to mind as a prominent example.
This is brilliant. Evil, but brilliant. If only this man could use his powers of technology and psychology for good, instead of evil.
