POPSSupport Project Erin! Downloading one file everyday may help save a life...
I'm Rebekah, and this is my first clip here. :D Well, I figured I should pimp this part out of the Project Erin Site. Erin is a 29 year old living in the US who suffers from two painful Neurological disorders- (Chiari malformation and cranial lesions). She is not begging for donations, all she asks is that you download one 3 kb text document a day to support her (virus/spyware/malware free)! If she gets 5 million downloads on the file, she will get $10,000 enough to cover some of her medical expenses. Just go to the her site, give it a looking over. I've personally downloaded the file- it simply states everything on the front page of the website. Please just give it a consideration, yeah? It doesn't hurt you at all to do it, just 10 seconds or so to download the file. Easy as pie! If you're feeling generous, her site offers where to donate. http://community.livejournal.com/projectdownload/318.html www.projecterin.com (I just want to send some hits and luck her way

POPSreCAPTCHA - Digitizing Books One Word at a Time "But if a computer can't read such a CAPTCHA, how does the system know the correct answer to the puzzle? Here's how: Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is given to a user in conjunction with another word for which the answer is already known. The user is then asked to read both words. If they solve the one for which the answer is known, the system assumes their answer is correct for the new one. The system then gives the new image to a number of other people to determine, with higher confidence, whether the original answer was correct."
