since computers are made by man, they can only be as smart as the man who made them. Therefore, of course captcha can be broken. The best security feature I have seen so far is asking people simple questions. If you asked the questions inside captcha, and you continued to add/delete questions, that would be even better. Still possible to break, but takes a lot of work

example: What color is the sky? What is 5 + 5? etc. But like i said, you would have to add questions all the time and change the format of the questions. I like the _____ sky.

It seems that you did not read the post you are commenting, but make your comment just based on description. Am I right? :D
Technique you describe of cause makes it more difficult to be solved by machine, but not by another human (not knowing about that).

I read it. I just chose to comment on what I find interesting. Is that allowed?

The article was a yawn-fest, so I just decided to comment on a different way of using captcha that I have seen on some sites.
