I understand what you are saying but it is irrelevant to the question of currency effect I brought up. Not that it matters, but ... Only irrelevant because you constantly change what you are saying. No, I have been talking about the same currency effect all the time. Here's something

This turing image does not defeat the automatic attack. All I need is a screen capture of the turing image combined with some OCR software, quite simple. But Danny, it's not quite simple at all! You're simply wrong! I'm sorry! I'll give you $100 right now if you can set up your

[e-gold-list] Cracking the Turing number

Danny, It seems to me that the first thing one does to protect a system from automated attacks is to forbid access attempts to the same account more than once every x (say 10) seconds. This means that even with constant attempt to crack the password and the Turing number, the cracker can't do

Not that it is any suprise, but I do wish that people would take the ongoing history of PayPal into consideration and not use them, ever, for anything. This is a company that has stolen more than US$ 30,000.00 from me personally, having locked an account more than two years ago for
