Assuming you need 5 seconds to solve a captcha, solving 1000 non-stop will require 1 hour 23 minutes. (Assuming no mistakes are made, everything else being constant)

$6 = 4 hours nonstop, no mistake. Depressing job.

there are plenty of other providers available, most of them have api clients in several scripting languages available (php, ruby)

e.g. http://deathbycaptcha.com

Where do you figure they're getting people to solve 1000 captchas for $2?
