Safety?: "Even an uzi has a safety"

Anyone who knows anything about firearms knows that a safety is a mechanical device that can and will fail. You never rely on your safety. There is no substitute for good firearms habits and gun safety training.

Much like there is no substitute for good user training. It is not ok to open unknown attachemnts simply because you have an AV program running. Nor is it ok to visit "questionable" web sites because you have a firewall that will render spyware ineffective. Both of the above have been shown not to be true. Often times virii are spread via email attachments before the AV companies can update thier definitions, and malware is constantly evolving to peck away at firewalls. Learn the good habits; there is no substitute.; Posted by: Real World Posted on: 10/06/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
