why people keep suggesting using a messed up image to check if people are real or bots? What about the people that can't see well? I mean, we have accessibility guidelines suggesting we put an alt text on every image and then we cut out from a service all the blind and visually impaired people? PS I think reusing the same file at every access causes a classical race condition, but I may be wrong..

  In the case of Visually impaired people many websites use sound for validation, so, the user must type what he hear.
  
  I think you are right with the race condition, a possible solution is to use a .php file as the source of the image and in that file generate the image with the Text_Captcha and echo it.
