On: How 4chan hacked ReCAPTCHA to win the TIME 100 Poll

It's a hack to me, and a pretty cool one. They wanted something done, they found a novel way of doing it. Probably taught themselves some valuable skills in the process.

Learn by doing. Get things done, one way or the other. The very essence of hacking!

I very much doubt that the gaming of the poll was merely an exercise in autodidacticism.
