TechAndComputer (June 17, 2011) Website CAPTCHA technology used to protect sites from hackers, bots and spammers is making those same sites inaccessible to many potential users, according to a survey of 150 typical online forums and other sites.
Details of the findings are reported this month in the International Journal of Web Based Communities.
CAPTCHA stands for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart."...
