And they're getting better at it:

I mean, what the hell? That looks like a goddamned phi (φ) in italics! I couldn't even figure it out, it took a coworker to figure out that it's supposed to be "cp"...

Too bad that if the computer could know it looks like a phi, it could solve the captcha.

Too bad that the average user doesn't know how to use charmap.exe... or, for that matter, that it exists.
