I don't really like mexican food much but yeah, smaller places are better than the big owned places they just seem to be fresher and nicer because they use local food sources and such I guess. x')

Text tutorials are probably better for coding as you can more easily see code snippets/examples you can use and they probably would go into more detail tbh.

Again, the spam programs such as XRumer can bypass the CAPTCHAs, so they would be broken rather quickly. My method of blocking registrations made in a very short length of time would stop them quicker and also leave less garbage accounts lying around :P
