Except that OCR is ubiquitous now
Authored by: Boundless on Thursday, January 10 2013 @ 07:11 AM EST
Economy scanners include robust OCR these days. Acrobat Pro will do it as well,
and even synthesize a mimic font to overlay as invisible text, so that raster
text documents become full-text searchable PDFs.

Google presumably has even more sophisticated OCR, and probably applies it to
every raster object on the web that contains anything that looks like a
character.

So, to make it really hard in 2013, you have to use Captcha Font in the original
document, and rasterize it at FAX res :)
Which MS may well have done, I suppose.

Underscores Groklaw's importance, huh?

However MS filed the document, it is available now, through Groklaw. To me,
this also re-emphasizes other efforts, such as regarding the Comes documents.
