Hi, I thought this might interest some.

I read an article about a new type of captcha that could leave us in the dark all over again, so I thought it would be of interest. It's based on 3D image-identification. See http://news.cnet.com:80/8301-17938_105-10204300-1.html?tag=nl.e703 I tried to contact YUNiTi, the captcha's designers, but of course the contact form had the same style of captcha. So I contacted the article's author, who was kind enough to put me in touch with the co-founder of the company. The poor guy was stimied by the idea of giving us a viable alternative, but he says if anyone has one, he'd be happy to hear it. So...if anybody does, email me off list and I'll give you the co-founder's email address. he said I could give it out as long as I didn't post it anywhere. I hope, by getting this article out there, someone might have a flash of brilliance that might help us all, since if this takes hold, it would render WebVisum obsolete. _______________________________________________ nabs-l mailing list nabs-l@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nabs-l: http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/nimerjaber1%40gmail.com blind_html To unsubscribe, please send a blank email to blind_html-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in the subject line.
