    Google Captcha

    I got this the other day:
    http://google.com/sorry/

    Anybody else got it?

    I searched for "Du pont".

    Could this be because of my TMN firefox extention?

    I haven't seen it since, just curios if anybody else got it?

    Are you surfing through an anonymity network like TOR? This could also be the reason.

    Re: Google Captcha

    i've seen it happen a few times myself.

    it's nothing to do with TOR. Google scans search requests and if there is a large number of requests going to a specific site via google it automatically sticks in that warning page (incase of a Google Bomb) or what ever it's called to hype up a sites standings on the lists.

    Re: Google Captcha

    I've seen it too. I was searching for something Final Fantasy XI map-related, and since Gold/Gil-Farmers run massive searches on Google all the time, many searches get flagged.

    Re: Google Captcha

    How is it, then, that it always takes *at least* 2 tries to get the CAPTCHA right on Blogger (owned by Google) when I'm an actual human? I swear, I type what it says, and it tells me I'm wrong. Today it had me try 5 times then it just took the darned textbox away! If humans that can actual read the text can't do it, how are computers doing it?

    This happens to me when I'm online during the night. Since many people leave bots on at night (at least it makes sense to)
