When you submit there is a solid image that shows profanity: http://www.geee.net/acids/cntpaint.gif . Pretty offensive and not appropriate for HackerNews.
I got the same thing for reference.

Re: The world's hardest CAPTCHA
#43Did I just read a 4-letter C word in my captcha? (the second one)
Same here. My guess is that this is the actual captcha.

http://www.geee.net/blog082.htm This is a list of the recent posts. There's no way he could be this dedicated to a "joke" website. The recent events mentioned suggest that it's not just changing the times dynamically, so the posts are actually recent. That's just scary. I wonder what kind of life he lives with the extreme paranoia of MI5 messing with him constantly. He needs medication, and a hobby to keep him away f…
"Unless, of course, MI5 actually have an obscene number of people on their books - perhaps as many as fifty thousand agents, which, if that is the case, means our 'democracy' is completely fucked." I am not sure what law or internet forum rule it is that says any sufficiently developed parody of being a kook is indistinguishable from being a real, honest to goodness kook... but browsing around this site I am quickly…
He will undoubtedly be receiving many empty forms if they are being sent successfully. I'm wondering what this will do to his paranoia and if he will post about it.

#48What an odd website: http://www.geee.net/blog.htm I can't quite get it. Is it a joke? The writer[1] seems incredibly paranoid that the CIA are poisoning him and keeps overhearing agent's talking about killing him. The Captcha is a joke, but it seems out of place with the rest of the content. 1. http://www.geee.net/543u5.htm
I'm not sure how it can't be construed as a joke given the poor accuracy of the CAPTCHA "paint" app and the fact that if you fail the first ridiculously complicated image, you are greeted with this image as the second CAPTCHA to replicate:

Granted, maybe they just have humor on the Contact Form (they also say "Your message has been sent to the Prime Minister who will be making some more cuts shortly." when you fail both CAPTCHAs), I haven't read the writings you're referencing.

> I wonder what kind of life he lives with the extreme paranoia of MI5 messing with him constantly. The lives of those that suffer from paranoid schizophrenia are well 'documented' in popular culture. One such item you may be interested in is the film 'A Beautiful Mind'. It is based on the life of John Nash, but keep in mind it is a dramatisation rather than a documentary. There are also a number of 'simulations' on…
'A Beautiful Mind' is a fantastic movie, but, as you implied, it's fundamentally a different story. The book is where it's at:
http://www.amazon.com/A-Beautiful-Mind-Sylvia-Nasar/dp/14516...
I will also say that it's impossible to over-state the breath and depth of the varieties of experiences that stem from what is called schizophrenia. There are certainly groups of people who share somewhat similar symptoms, but even that is tenuous. Words simply can't adequately describe it.

#50At this point I think the only captchas that would be reliable are ones that trade on the inherently illogical nature of human decision-making. Ask people questions or give them things to solve that they will initially answer illogically due to their human biases. A computer, even if it could answer correctly, would have to learn about how humans make decisions, or how perception causes us to view certain things differently. You'd have to create an AI smart enough to make bad decisions like a human in order to beat it.
