"distorted text in a picture" thingies have a name. Who knew?
A captcha (an acronym for "completely automated public Turing test
to tell computers and humans apart") is a type of challenge-response
test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human.
[...]
A common type of captcha requires that the user type the letters of
a distorted and/or obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears
on the screen. Because the test is administered by a computer, in
contrast to the standard Turing test that is administered by a human,
a captcha is sometimes described as a reverse Turing test.

The captcha.php module prevents WWW bots from
submitting HTML forms by presenting an image that
must be identified before the submission will be
accepted. It is very easy to use and integrate
because of its simple API and sensible defaults.
Built-in timeouts make database tracking
unnecessary, and by using data: URIs it does not
need any temporary files. For visually impaired
users or text-only browsers, a letter riddle can
be provided instead of an image.
Changes:
The double-redirection workaround was added for
the outdated Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Anatomy of comment spam script vendors:
Emil Kacperski, Eugene Blagodarny and
corporate helpers
09/18/2004 07:10 AMOne of the curious things about blog comment spam is how asymmetrical
it is. When I've had my site spammed, it feels like a desecration. If
you have ever had your house broken into, it is a similar feeling. It
is as if someone has come into your house while you were out,
defecated on the floor, ransacked through all your belongings, and
made off with your valuables. I have read some pretty impressive rants
from people after they've been hammered, and they seem to have a
similar impression. It feels like a personal affront. But it isn't.
It's just a script that somebody wrote that connects to a database
they have populated. Spammers never see our rants and raves about
their activities. But who does write and sell these scripts? I have
always been curious about what kind of scum writes and sells what must
be increasingly sophisticated scripts, so when I noticed that my
weblog was being hit repeatedly by a strange entry, www.php-soft.com,
I wondered what it was and checked out the site. It turns out to be a
vendor of comment spamming software. From the sales pitch at
http://www.php-soft.com/advanced_blog_guestbook_messages_board_submitt
er (not using proper hyperlinks for what I hope are obvious reasons):
This is the perfect unique tool that quickly submits your information
to any messages board/guestbook/blog or any other web script using the
most effective technique and offers you fantastic opportunities for
your web site promotion, increasing the link popularity of your web
project. The most effective method of increasing the link popularity
of your site is to post to online messages boards, guestbooks and
blogs (e.g. LiveJournal). I am very glad that we can introduce our
messages boards/blogs/guestbooks submission software to you.... We
have the biggest database of discussion boards, guestbooks, blogs with
high page rank. Our advanced submitter is a set of php scripts which
can easily be installed on your home PC or your hosting server. This
software is useful for any kind of data submission. You can fill the
database with information using the following methods: manually one by
one, from the list copied into textarea, from the textual file,
gathering URLs using Google search engine (enter any script name [e.g.
addpost.cgi] into URLs management tool and let our software add all
such scripts URLs to your database with one button click), generate
URLs list using special rules (regular expressions). You can use...

XHTML and the script tag
XHTML and the script tag
01/07/2004 06:49 PMSo for some odd reason, my alpha
Kinja design that was visible in IE,
Camino, Firebird, and Safari on IE and Mac suddenly stopped rendering
on IE/Mac, IE/Windows, and Safari/Mac (didn't test the others, was too
busy freaking out). I tried everything I could think of, validated the
code (clean XHMTL 1.0 Strict), validated the CSS, had some friends
take a look, and nothing. "View source" showed code, but nothing
appeared on screen. Finally, after commenting out code line by line, I
nailed it. In my header, I had:
<script src="/functions.js"
type="text/javascript" />
While the validator liked this, and Camino had no problem, the other
browers barfed big time and treated it as an unclosed tag, rendering
nothing more. A quick change to:
<script src="/functions.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and all is right with the world again. I write this because I'm sure
I'll have this problem again, and then Google will help me (hi idiot
Meg from the future making the same mistakes again!) In the meantime,
it may help you.

and it can also be controlled by AppleScript. Not only can you
automatically launch your scripts, but each time they run, you can
pass a line of parameters to your script.
Release notes:
Background software updated to match PowerKey 4.1.4. Added an "Execute
Event" item to the Edit menu to run a script immediately. Added a
contextual menu to create, edit and delete events. In some
circumstances, if iDo Script Scheduler was used in conjunction with
the PowerKey 4.1.3 software, the scheduled scripts failed to run --
fixed. In Mac OS 9, hot key events were affected by the state of the
caps lock key, even though it was not displayed in the event editor --
fixed. (In OS X, the caps lock key is ignored when creating or
activating hot keys.)
