Even so, if these are more difficult to solve than other captchas, they are equally user-friendly. They only require from users to enter the text that they see.

That is not true, I just tried to create a new e-mail account at GMail, and they use Recaptcha.

[link to http://www.google.com/recaptcha/learnmore] Yes, and that page is exactly the way that the users are informed about the way their CPU cycles are donated, so that they may form their consent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
