How bout you just start with a doggie tandem picture

My truck is always really messy in the extended cab...however it's mostly useful items. Depending on the season, different things live back there: a sleeping bag, topo maps of the whole state, avalanche shovel, backpacking backpack, stove, water filter, miscelanious food, ski boots, guide books, climbing ropes, pfd, throw bag, dry top, multiple types of helmets, cam straps, ice scraper, digital camera, video camera, blank cd's,etc. OK so maybe I don't need all of that. I guess at some point I figured that instead of unpacking from one trip and repacking for the next trip, it's just easier to remain packed...that way I don't forget anything! I would rate my truck a 9.

Ahem. Ivan BEER !!!!!!!

And you even have to be careful with that...some popups will even have a "fake" X that opens up a whole can of worms.

You have a basic level of ecucation about how to maintain your car...you put gas in it, get oil changes, etc. If you didn't, well, it wouldn't work and your mechanic would definatly chastize you for it. I think that people need to exercise a minimal level of caution with their computers, there are some fairly basic things you can do to avoid spyware. You dont have to be an IT professional to do these things, and it's going to make you (and your computer)much happier

How to Avoid Spyware (PC Magazine Article): 1. Make sure to run an antispyware application. Perform on-demand scans regularly to root out spyware that slips through the cracks. Reboot after removal and rescan to make sure no ticklers, which are designed to reinstall spyware, have resurrected any deleted apps. Additionally, even though we are not overly impressed with any app's real-time blocking abilities, activate whatever your app of choice offers; it's nearly always better than nothing. 2. Give your antispyware some backup. In addition to an antispyware app, make sure to run both software and hardware firewalls and antivirus applications to protect yourself against Trojan horses (and viruses, naturally). 3. Beware of peer-to-peer file-sharing services. Many of the most popular applications include spyware in their installation procedures (see the sidebar "Spyware-Free P2P—for Free"). Also, never download any executables via P2P, because you can't be absolutely certain what they are. Actually, it's a good idea to avoid downloading executables from anywhere but vendors or major, well-checked sites. 4. Watch out for cookies. While they may not be the worst form of spyware, information gathered via cookies can sometimes be matched with information gathered elsewhere (via Web bugs, for example) to provide surprisingly detailed profiles of you and your browsing habits. PC Magazine's own Cookie Cop 2 (www.pcmag.com/utilities) can help you take control of cookies. 5. Squash bugs. Web bugs are spies that are activated when you open contaminated HTML e-mail. Get rid of unsolicited e-mail without reading it when you can; turn off the preview pane to delete messages without opening them. In Outlook 2003, Tools | Options, click on the Security tab and select Change Automatic Download Settings. Make sure Don't download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail is checked. 6. Don't install anything without knowing exactly what it is. This means reading the end-user license agreement (EULA) carefully, as some EULAs will actually tell you that if you install the app in question, you've also decided to install some spyware with the software. Check independent sources as well, as some EULAs won't tell you about spyware. 7. Protect yourself against drive-by downloads. Make sure your browser settings are stringent enough to protect you. In IE, this means your security settings for the Internet Zone should be at least medium. Deny the browser permission to install any ActiveX control you haven't requested. 8. Keep up to date on the ever-changing world of spyware. Knowing the threat will help you defeat it. There are several great sites you can visit to keep abreast of this issue. PestPatrol's Research Center (www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo) has one of the most comprehensive lists of spyware and related threats we've seen. SpywareInfo is another good online source of information.

I couldn't agree more. I seem to have a difficult time explinaing to people that "free" programs are not nessecarially so...

I'm with you...between family, friends, and work, I spend hours every week cleaning computers. It's gotten so bad on some systems that it is just easier to reformat and start over. How come viruswriters get caught and go to jail, but spyware writers make millions??

The bridge in CO is 1,053 feet above the river and the towers are 150 feet high from their foundations on the rim of the gorge. ETA: However the bridge deck intersects the towers about halfway up, so the tops of the towers are only about 80 feet above the bridge deck.

Here's a 3-year old thread about this with a little more info
