Actually, they're not. Partly because there's a *lot* of research
involved in getting it to work well, but mostly because the spam
houses that have a financial interest in decoding them have found a
cheap way to get around it -- they show the images as a "security
check" to people wanting access to porn, and use those responses
rather than trying to decode the graphics automatically.
