I was always really good at those… the two trains leaving the station in different directions traveling at different speeds.

Here’s where I struggle…

The other day, I’m standing with my three year old daughter waiting for the elevator. I notice this gorgeous lady walking through the lobby. While I’m checking her out, unbeknownst to me, the elevator doors open and my daughter hops on with everyone else.

Now, I took three years of calculus in college. I can find the area under the curve… but I can’t find my daughter!

Btw… I tried that plugin and it pretty much sucks. I think I’ll stick with the traditional method for now.

However, if people can’t intuitively choose “the photo that doesn’t belong”… do we really want them having the ability to leave a comment in the first place?

The concern is not so much as whether they can or not, but whether they’re willing to be bothered to do it or not. To promote discussions we should always try to make it as easy and hassle-free as possible for people to submit their comments, otherwise some just might not bother.

There’s actually a pretty strong opinion in the internet that we should get rid of captcha altogether, and rely entirely on behind-the-scene, seamless spam filtering methods. Of course in an ideal world this would be perfect, but it’s not an ideal world and so such methods rarely works 100%.

Aksimet is one such example of behind-the-scene spam filtering, and it got rid of most spam, I’d say 90% or more. If you can live with manually deleting the other 10% or less, then Akismet alone should be enough. But if that 10% or less translates to tens of spam comments every day, coupling Akismet with a Captcha usually does the trick.

Well, I’m sold. And I agree. I dislike having to enter a captcha every time I’d like to leave a comment. And yes, there are often times when I don’t comment just because of the “comment process”.

That’s cool. I got Akismet installed and working properly. I’ll hold off on the captcha and see the results of Akismet first.
