PHP is great. I've been using it for the past year; I love all of the
built-in functions. Try doing the following with java.util.Calendar :-)
$time = strtotime('last Monday');
$time = strtotime('February 15, 2007');
See http://php.net/strtotime

Then let us take the next logical step:
Instead of character recognition lets introduce *object* recognition!
e.g. let the user recognize, say, an apple or a pear, or something
universally recognizable.
This approach has its initial drawbacks though
itd have to be firstly
implemented in en_EN only
All this is easily implemented in a DB, put images in blobs
randomly serve
an image
. The record containing the image also has the name for it
In my perspective
PHP was *born* to do such tasks
;-)
Just my 2c, anyway
. ;-)

Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Re: [JPP-Devel] spam alert
I'm wrestling with this problem on a forum I administer that uses the PhpBB
software which, unfortunately is very popular, and therefor often a target
of SpamBots. The software allows you to require registration and uses the
image-generated code with email confirmation. These anti-spam techniques
have reduced the amount of spam, but have not entirely eliminated it.
Apparently the SpamBots have gotten more sophisticated in response to these
measures and now include character recognition. There seems to be no silver
bullet for spam.

Hmmm....
Difficult problem to approach...
One thing that comes to mind is having some sort of mechanism where an
image-generated code had to be entered in order to avoid bots, spammers,
whatever
This would, of course, be less convenient, but *effective*.

I think that I can confirm that it is a problem with gmane.org. I've checked
for the spammers e-mail addresses in the list of subscribers...and they are
not there.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can fix this problem? I can block
each e-mail address from the spammers individually, but that may be a futile
effort. I don't know that they even use the same e-mail addresss twice.

jep.. and i wonder jow it works. because people sending to this list
must be subscribed. But it may be that this problem is connected with
our registration at gmane.org which enables sending without beeing
subscribed
