Jesus help us if you weren’t joking.

If you weren’t you basically heard about someone being stupid, watched me make fun of them for being stupid, then proceeded to not even grasp why it was stupid, and then follow up with assuming I was the one who missed something.

You must be a developer, which means your comment is getting added to the coveted “most ironic comment” list. Nothing against you personally, but you just served as the example for the post. I couldn’t have made something up any better.

Even if you could not figure out how to the extract the text from the image, you can write a script to select the text and paste it into the box.</p> Bahamut, his point was that it is not a Turing test.

If someone found a way to dump out the test in text-format but also not have it available in the source somewhere, it should work. If it's rock-solid and works, why is it bad? And before you claim it can <em>never</em> work, real people also know that they shouldn't be using absolutes for anything.</p> <p>How about not talking about something you never seen based on someone's observation of something he probably didn't know how it worked? How about not over generalizing people who develop and assuming that <em>all</em> developers are idiots? Researching before you blog about something? In. Sane.</p> Do you know how it was set up?
