Hi

This post refers to the human verification image from superuser.com which can be found here

I just typed out the 0 and 1's from the new picture.

I think I may of missed a few as it was not 100% clear on some of the creases.

Anyway, It was not divisible by 8, so I added a few 0's to the end, I came up with -

00100110011000010110110101110000001110110010011000100011001100010011100000110111001110110010011001110001011101010110111101110100001110110010011000100011001100010011011100111001001110110110101100111101001101000110001001101100001001100010001100110001001110000011100000111011001001100010001100110001001101110011011100111011001001100010001100110001001101110011010000111011001011100001011000100110001000110011001000110001001101110011101100100110001000110011000100110110001100110011101100010000

And when I translated it, I came up with

&»"³k=4bl¼±®.Ù£

I am probably wrong (especially as I am half sleep, 4:30AM and asking a stupid question!), but I think I have come across something similar years ago when working with encoded JavaScript... just off by a few characters in a few places.

Anyway, Is it just random and I wasted my time (but had 5 mins of fun) looking in to this, or is it a message?

This is what I transcribed from the image.

I think it is just some random data.

The picture is that of a homeless robot (really a robot protester), which was posted to digg awhile back. The message itself is gibberish, quite to the detest of diggers everywhere.
