Scrivens for Hobey - vote @ www.hobeybaker.com

[Willy '06]

The CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) on the Hobey site is about as easy to crack as there is. Spammers have come up with some pretty good tools at cracking CAPTCHAs, and I'm sure that they're using one of those tools. The really strong CAPTCHAs have squiggly lines all over them and are nearly impossible to read for humans. The other option for breaking CAPTCHAs is to have the script repeatedly show the CAPTCHA to a human and have him type in the numbers/letters repeatedly. Some spammers run scripts like that and outsource the human part to countries with cheap labor. It seems like we'll never be able to outsmart them.

It's quite a testament to Scrivens's numbers thus far, by the way, that even after giving up four goals in less than 57 minutes of net time last night, Ben still leads the nation in GAA and Save %.

After a brief surge, Scrivens has slowed down and settled back into 17th place.  Let's keep it up, guys!  And if anyone is enterprising enough with this script idea, perhaps I'll offer them one of my extra tickets to the NCAA Hockey East Regional in Bridgeport...

Scrivens just mentioned on ESPNU during the Maine/UMass intermission on their "Hobey Baker Tracker."

"Some big names on their," said the color guy, who apparently didn't see the box score from Friday's SLU game. Although, I am pretty impressed that 4 GA in half a game inflates his average all the way to 1.41!
