The California Wine Club recently sent out a survey to it’s members and found that most of its members thought that screw caps were OK, but didn’t agree that screw tops were ever superior to cork bottles.
More than 50 percent of responders viewed screw caps as having the same quality, while 35 percent believed they were less quality. Only 2 percent of respondents believed screw caps were of higher quality, while 10 percent said they did not drink wines with screw caps (i.e. cork snobs).

Our survey and form software, Checkbox®, now has an image CAPTCHA feature. A CAPTCHA can help keep automated spammer programs and scripts from signing up for certain accounts online, including email, blog posts, and anywhere where there’s a form.
CAPTCHA stands for … Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell all Computers and Humans Apart. Seems fitting that Carnegie Mellon, a school noted for it’s contributions to robotics, holds the trademark on the name.
This article, from Slashdot refers to a NY Times article, discusses the fact that humans are even having a tough time cracking the CAPTCHAs. I have to agree. On some accounts I’ve had to type the secret jumbled words a couple times in order to get access.
Best practice?
Use a CAPTCHA, but don’t make it very difficult (we have over a dozen CAPTCHA styles to choose from).
