and don't forget: if you hammer google too much you get soft banned which requires a captcha to continue.
If you continue to hammer google they temp ban your ip.
If you continue to use ips in the same subnet the same process happens.
if you keep hammering they temp ban the whole subnet.
After some hours to days the ban is lifted, no idea what happens if you keep scraping google, I read about permanent bans in various mailing lists.
