I fail at those things all the time. There's gotta be a better way to identify that someone is human.

I was reading an interesting article about this. That CAPTCHAs have actually advanced OCR tech considerably, and it's now to the point that computers are better than humans at it.

They went on to discuss what the next test should be, with an eye towards getting the spammers to work on some other computational challenge. Image recognition was one (is the person in the picture happy, how many puppies, etc).
