 http://petsymposium.org/2012/papers/hotpets12-1-usability.pdf points out
 that the captcha redirect message confuses users and is filled with
 jargon. It should either go away, or be reworded.

 Since startpage provides Google search results, I am leaning towards
 simply disabling the warning entirely and always redirecting. This might
 be viewed as more obnoxious by some, but hey, screw Captchas, and fuck the
 403 no-captcha response for sure.
