Anyone remember sleepwalker*? Apparently spammers are now using a similar technology for google captchas. People get paid to enter text visible in google captcha image.

* sleepwalker (or coldfeet) was a program for RS1 (RS classic) used along with bots, that automatically entered captchas thar RS1 displayed. When I say automatically, I actually mean that the catptcha was displayed to all sleepwalker users and one of them had to enter it. Later OCR RS1 captcha readers were designed and made sleepwalker obselete.

Should I start blogging, what do you think?
