Also! I was thinking, Google Code has some handy code review and commenting features, and who doesn't love version control, right? *g* So I set up an intro-cs-dw Mercurial project over there. I've never actually used Mercurial before, but I like having excuses to learn new things.

To get set up:

1) Email or pm me or leave me a comment and I'll add you as a project committer.

2) Add a folder with your name on it and put your problem set solutions in there.

That way if you want to collaborate with someone or leave helpful feedback or read other people's code, it should be a little easier than using the DW comments.

There are other types of audio CAPTCHA but they doesn't mean they're any better. I reeebmmr one that had me type out a random movie quote or something and it wouldn't take just part of the phrase. It was a total pain in the ass and wound up being harder to do than attempting to read the blurry letters. I'm not blind, but I can't always read CAPTCHAs and I thought that might be easier. I guess not.I spent some time trying to figure out what site that was. I thought it was Yahoo!, but they just go for the garbled stuff technique. Then I thought it might've been AOL since I had trouble getting some instant messenger passwords at some point, but that one uses a similar technique only it involves really obnoxious beeping sounds. It made me wanna stop the noises as quickly as possible. Ug. Really, had I felt compelled to stick around, I'm not sure I would've been able to process the relevant information, anyway.The whole thing is pretty frustrating. Having to sift through tons of spam comments is a pain, but there really aren't a lot of viable solutions to the problem.
