Capcha in ruby

"Is the cosine of zero one or zero?"

"What trigonometric function of an angle of a right triangle yields
the ratio of the adjacent side's length divided by the hypotenuse?"

careful with those trig questions. Soon no one will know what you're talking
about http://physorg.com/news6555.html

With my glasses or contact lenses, I have *great* vision, and I've got
better colour acuity than most people do (it's how I can still see
meaningful things without my glasses, actually). But you're right -- I
can't see that, either.

I have good eye site and they still annoy me. I can't believe adding
a user hostile feature is a good idea. :slight_smile:

Does anyone have first hand reports of success with captcha?

It's a locked door in a world of unlocked houses (I'm paraphrasing from something I read off grc.com), which means the spammer's not going to waste his time on it. I created a Blogger.com blog, and got 5 spam comments within minutes. I immediately added captcha and haven't seen any since.
