Your blog's CAPTCHA uses only one word, but reCAPTCHA uses two, which makes it more spam proof. <br /><br />However, the best thing about it is that it takes the typing people do and digitalize old books and newspapers with it (the CAPTCHA image is of actual text from a scanned book). I don't know how it works, but it's a great idea.<br /><br />Fight spam and digitalize books at the same time. Here's the link:<br /><br />http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html<br /><br />hope that helps,<br />ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031392209748098670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-4777204219274093052009-11-24T12:39:48.516-05:002009-11-24T12:39:48.516-05:00C'mon David.

Will you have to fight it? (This is remote, since file names are not usually visible, but the risk isn't zero).<br /><br />Where, in the world, is the server that hosts your storage located? The laws of that state or country will govern a lot of these answers.<br /><br />Does the storage service have their own backup or disaster recovery plan (DRP)? How long will your data be unavailable if they have a fire or regional disaster?<br /><br />If your data is also on a server that some other customer uses for illegal content (child related or criminal conspiracy/terror) will it become embroiled in a legal mess? Even if you're a random victim of co-location, will you have to spend money defending yourself from guilt-by-association or even just protecting your assets from publication, destruction or other loss?<br /><br />While some of these risks are minimal, possibly even far-fetched, they are not insignificant. Before deciding to outsource your data storage and backup you really do need to think about these items. If you then decide that the risks are acceptable, fine. The only real mistake is to not consider them at all.Steve Kalmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429003813773159349noreply@blogger.com
