    When you log into JWN your required to type out two words from reCAPTCHA. For a while I was concerned that JWN was sending me sublimnal messages like "try harder" or "Love Train". Thanks cameo-d!

    But now I know your actually helping in a "Human Computation" project. Every time you log into JWN you are digitizing a book! If you would like more info here is a short video:

    The speaker talks really fast...but it's good info.  I've wondered about the log-in process.

    Thanks

    haha! You gotta admit, though, if we ever needed an "underground railroad" to send secret messages...it could be done through Captcha!

    I know some groups advocate writing messages on currency to pass the word. I occassionally get currency with a website address written on it. I have gotton several of the "where's george?" bills among others.

    At first, I thought maybe Simon was just trying to help us with our spelling! But then, I started to get pieces of words and sometimes letters that made no sense!

     

    This guy in the video is an absolute genius! And his idea to take the password technique farther to make something beneficial to all humanity is just astounding! Now this is an example of what a true "Illuminati" really is. They are the genuises among us. They are not household names, always. But they are the brilliant shining ones. They are the examples of what we can be when we live up to our full potential! I am awed at this man's creative thinking and his humanitarian efforts. What a great contribution he is making to the world!

    that truly is amazing...reCAPTCHA is annoying but at least it is useful now.
