>the indignity of being forced to prove I'm human
It's worse than that - if I prove I'm human by choosing pictures the machine doesn't agree with it won't let me in.
I recently found that using IE made for exponentially more tests. Out of pique, I tried doing the opposite of what was requested; for instance, if it wanted me to click on fire hydrants until there were no more, I clicked on pictures without fire hydrants until every square had one.
But it never got tired, or decided it was wrong about what fire hydrants are, or deduced the rule I was following.

It won't even let me differ on, say, 1/4 of them.
