Like ReCaptcha? Man, I was signing up for something last night and failed to solve it 3 times. Captchas are getting harder for humans to solve than bots - is this really a good thing?

(is your ReCaptcha reference to it being broken? If so then I think my point is proved by how quickly it was fixed)

As for making it harder for humans, I very much see your point, but the solution isn't to come up with some of the trivial captchas that many come up with by themselves.

I came to the belief this is the goal to make human captcha factories more expensive.
