You are right that if you have an environment that's not hooked up  
consistently to the internet then it won't work.   I know that some  
Big Corps have given the recaptcha people hardware to help them build  
their service more robust.

For the harder to read part, that's another thing I like about their  
captchas. Because they depend on OCR of a scanned text having failed  
rather than on just trying to scramble some letters they are MUCH  
easier to read than other captchas.

Anyway, I'll get the broken record moving on now.  :-)
