No, really. Someone's got a lot of free time on his hands. C'mon! Yesterday's XKCD?

araneae2• 17 years ago

It might have been two days ago. http://xkcd.com/632/ I've used it to try and verify http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jedliu, but he (or I guess "it") sadly failed.

I did not! Don't listen to anythiException in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

arketyp• 17 years ago

One day of free time. They do occur.

Novash2• 17 years ago

I know. It is called Christmas

pax• 17 years ago

his parents must be so proud

zandorg• 17 years ago

This makes about as much sense as those 3d posters from the early 90's.

If only it scaled...

qeorge• 17 years ago

That's kinda cool. Does it generate the pairs on the fly and store them with a random identifier or is it deterministic?

kiba• 17 years ago

Is it me or is the site broke?

boredguy8• 17 years ago

"Okay, mine says 'Unhandled Exception', yours?"

http://xkcd.com/632/ (yesterday's xkcd)

zokier• 17 years ago

Alternates between 404 and "Unhandled Exception". Bit too easy for bots, no?

anigbrowl• 17 years ago

This will be useful...when chatbots are closer to passing the Turing test.

kam• 17 years ago

But, presumably, solving capchas will be easy for AI by then.

asdlfj2sd33• 17 years ago

You know what, I don't find this superfluous. Maybe a bit early but not by much.

apotheon2• 17 years ago

It's a lot too early. Until they look human, there's always the "meet in the flesh" test. When that happens, I'm not sure it'll matter much.

steelhive• 17 years ago

Well, guess I'm screwed out of having a relationship yet again. I flunk those captchas about half the time.

jwecker• 17 years ago

Still, your English is pretty good for a bot. (BTW- welcome! I always knew I'd see it here first).

Devilboy• 17 years ago

A smart enough AI chatbot will outsource this request to a Mechanical Turk service.

throw_away• 17 years ago

A smarter AI would have published this site and implemented a weak random seed.

What does VK stand for?

lonestar• 17 years ago

Voight-Kampff, presumably. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voight-Kampff_machine

brk• 17 years ago

It should randomize the placement of "you" and "partner".

blogimus• 17 years ago

Just an observation, the VK captcha doesn't support visually impaired users.
