Ain't technology great?

Harvard cracks DNA storage, crams 700 terabytes of data into a single gram

Hackers backdoor the human brain, successfully extract sensitive data

ANOTHER robot I'd need to beat to death when I see it...

Clock.

They say that DNA storage is "incredibly dense." I have personally confirmed that, but only in the cells of Republicans... ;D

God-DAMN Google CAPTCHA! Second try...

This may get to the point at which I simply stop commenting on other people's sites. Sometimes I cycle using the "Recaptcha" button as many as five times, find one I think I can make out, and still get it wrong. I have left endless feedback messages for Google telling them that they are baldfacedly discriminating against old people; they don't even bother to reply, DAMN them!

This is one of those times. Here goes again...

The "dark number" on that last one was so tiny I had to get a large, strong magnifying glass even to make out that it was a number at all... and even still, I was guessing. And I'm guessing again with this one...

Nope. Guessed wrong again. I know this is annoying you; I can only hope my next feedback annoys Google...

I guess Google feels clever that they have defeated autobots who spew out ads or something... but sometimes I have no idea what the weird number smudge could possibly be no matter how long I squint at it.

Appreciate you fighting the CAPTCHA battle, Steve and posting comments.

Some Google executive must have decided on a "no spam, no matter what the cost" policy. At some point, I may consider switching to Disqus on my site; it works pretty well on Fallenmonk's site.
