Yes, I remember the heat ray thing the military proudly showed off a few years back, aiming it at a pretend group of ... not terrorists or rioters ... but peace protesters with fake peace signs. It was very insightful.
Credit where it's due, Google/Blogger seems to have gotten rid of those CAPTCHA texts that appear over a blotchy black background (say that three times fast!). Those were a serious hindrance to me.
