   What do you think of CAPTCHA?
   
   Although I understand it's useful in reducing spam, it's almost impossible for someone with problems like dyslexia to complete successfully.

   I hate it with a passion!  My vision is not 20/20 therefore some of the letter I cannot read.

   Depends on the CAPTCHA provider. Some are good and very readable while others I believe requires psychic powers to read. Try to upload a photo in tinypic.com and you'll see that their CAPTCHA provider is among the best I've seen on the web.

   I can't stand CAPTCHA.  I am convinced sometimes there is no right answer.  I think sometimes they just put jibberish on a screen and they are not even real numbers or letters.  Somewhere out there, someone is laughing about our attempts to login without success.

   I think the captcha is good for all. All the server would be down if there are no captcha because auto-fill bot would open millions of account or loads of requests to the server.
   
   Now a days most of the servers have audio-sound support with captcha which solves the vision problem. Also, most of the captcha has "new captcha" button which can change the captcha to a better readable one.

      Not always and the audio leaves a lot to be desired.  Some of them I get right the first time and it tells me that I didn't an have to do many.  After the third time I give up because then what I was going to be posted isn't important anymore.

   Sometimes CAPTCHA really sometimes hurt my eyes.. But I can't do anything since that is a requirement when you want to access or use the service of some websites.
