I was recently using stackoverflow.com to solve a technical problem. On the site, if you make too many edits or changes in a set amount of time, the site decides you could be a robot. If this happens, you’re asked to complete a CAPTCHA (typing out the text from an image) to confirm that yes, you are human.

Here’s a screengrab of the page:

If you’re not sure why this was worth posting. Perhaps you should check out these links:

One of the most annoying tasks I have to do when I’m developing a website is to test it in the many different browsers and in some cases, multiple versions of each.

Internet Explorer is the most difficult to test. Windows typically only allows one version of IE to be installed and no two versions will render a page the same. Add to this the frustration that a huge percentage of users still use Internet Explorer version 6 (Come on people, IE6 will be 8 years old this August!) and you’ve got a real problem on your hands.

Until now….
