yahoo chatrooms and Alan Turing A.I. test..

ok if u are like me and used to use yahoo chatrooms before they went shit, after the closure of the user rooms - and then bot and pakistani invasion - lets not forget the fillipino 'DO U WANT TO GET MARRIED?!' girls...


well - no user rooms still, but VIRTUALLY NO BOTS

the rest u just have to iggy but thats livable..


the way it works is u have to enter a captcha , ya know the stange wiggly letters that computers cant read...

well they CAN but not easily...
it'll take a while for the spambot ppl to upgrade em for it... maybe a week say.


interesting article on captcha technology here - its like a reverse Turing test...
worth a read i think

FIGHT THE POWER! ravers ATTACK police station..

ok, it seems the mob attackin the policestation WENT to the rave afterwards..which the police broke up at 10am the following morning.. at least the law were sensible there and didnt try to stop it in the night... what IS bad is all the officers covering up their numbers so they cant be identified..

so of course they can bash away happily at people for the indignity they suffered earlier HAAAA
its not right to have attacked the police station obviously, but covering up ya id when ya go for a fight with em just stinks of being a coward.


anyway

Ravers lay siege to police station

Violence erupted at an illegal rave yesterday after a mob laid siege to a seaside police station, hurling bottles, cans and stones.

Police reinforcements from across Norfolk rushed to the main police station in Great Yarmouth as about 100 young people protested outside. They were angry over the arrest of three men in a van who were believed to be taking musical equipment to an illegal rave in the town.

Two police cars were damaged and several officers received minor cuts and bruises - one was hit in the face by a full can of beer - as the mob screamed for the release of the three.

Officers in riot gear tried to control the crowd which gathered around midnight, half an hour after the men's arrest on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner's consent. The crowd drifted away after about an hour and went to dance the rest of the night away at a warehouse on the town's Harfrey industrial estate.

Officers in protective gear and with dogs were attacked with missiles, including lengths of wood, as they monitored the event.

At about 10am yesterday, about 100 policemen, including officers drafted in from Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, moved in to break up the rave. One female officer needed hospital treatment on an injured hand.

The party was attended by more than 300 people. Police said 15 people were arrested after the attack which they termed a "major incident."

They said the arrests related to violent disorder, possession of drugs and taking a vehicle without consent. Officers also seized 44 vehicles as part of the investigation.

Chief Supt Bob Scully of Norfolk Police said the attacks were "shameful" and promised to track down those involved.

Ravers accused the police of being heavy-handed. Several claimed that they had been left with cuts and bruises after being hit by batons.

Others accused officers of damaging their cars by smashing windows and denting bodywork. All claimed to have no knowledge of the violence at the police station.

Karl Rance, 24, from Bedford, claimed that he was left with a split eyebrow after being punched in the face by an officer.

"They were absolutely outrageous," he said. "There was just no need for it. My friend is in hospital with a broken arm."
