| ::::::It's nothing new, sadly, and much expected (though unwanted). It's like an arms race: one side outdoing the other, vice versa, and rinse & repeat. Most of the captcha crackers seem to be of the human variety, who are paid off by people in the form of free pornography and the like. (Some of the weaker captchas are easier to crack, because they have a standard font they use, and they do the manipulations rigidly.) Otherwise, if it can be implemented, it can be circumvented. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 22:19, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

| == Clock off again ==

|

| The server clock seems to be seven minutes off. Do you have [[w:ntpd|ntpd]] installed? It's a daemon that automatically keeps the clock in sync with time servers all over the world. Since the clock has fallen behind for the second time in a relatively short while, it might be useful. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:08, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
