Anyone else have trouble with CAPTCHA tests?

CAPTCHA is an acronym for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Human Apart”. In a broader sense, CAPTCHA is defined as a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer.

This one site I go to for porn always demands that I decipher their crappy CAPTCHA. It's always supposed to be three letters and a number. What it always looks like is a maelstrom of sticks and swirls.

:grr:

Most of the time I just forget it if the stupid thing is indecipherable.
