Added new Comment Spam filter
I know adding comments to this blog has been tough. I've added a new comment challenge called reCaptcha. It looks like this:
If the words are too difficult to read, hit the top refresh button on the three-stacked buttons to the right.
If you correctly get the two words, your comment will be published immediately. I'll have to see if the bad guys can get through.
Also, you're doing something productive:
...reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA.
So comment away and help in the process of digitizing the world's knowledge.
Update: I scrapped CAPTCHA and am now using the Disqus commenting system. Let's see how that works!
