Like some one said, the only safe safe computer is the one left on the O.F.F. position
As if AOL was feeling left out of the security hole party, a new hole was discovered in AOL's Instant Messenger program by a group of international researchers called "w00w00" (who's website couldn't handle the traffic or "fame" of such a discovery and died several times this afternoon after being linked to by Slashdot and their ilk). The exploit is capable of giving a hacker complete control of the attacked PC, according to experts at AOL. An AOL spokesman has said: "We have identified the issue and have developed a resolution that should be deployed in the next day or two."

I remember way back about so many moons ago when I use to drive Mack Trucks for Waste Mgt. (Front End Loader). I use to tell everyone when they ask "What Do You Do For A Living?"
I would simply reply, "Well, Actually I'm A Sanitation Engineer!"
