I was just at Microsoft's site for the hotfix download to fix the
Advanced Local Procedure Call problem in Server 2008R2 and you need to
enter a captcha to get the link sent to your email address.
Just as I was about to enter it I thought I would listen to it just for
the hell of it... I couldn't understand a thing, it sounded like two
ferrets fighting infront of a de-tuned radio.
Whatever system the wiki and the forums have we better make it sure it
is the right one because there would be nothing worse than going to a
site and finding you can't use it because of a rubbish captcha system.
