If you are using Outlook, try SpamBayes. After a week of training, it seems to be >95% effective for me (I run all my email through Outlook). Some people have reported having issues getting it to work with Outlook 2013, but I haven't noticed any problems.

I used it many years ago, when it was still shiny and wet behind the ears, and it worked fairly well. I'll give it another look, though. Thanks!

Here's an article about blocking spam. It describes methods that have worked for me for over 10 years.

I recommend putting the word "junk" in your email address. My last email account, about 15 years ago, was full of spam. When I got a new ISP I created a junk email address, samjunk@... and it's been 15 years or so now and I almost never get any spam. I do get a lot of email from businesses I've given it to, but no spam. I think the spammers filter out "junk" addresses.

I tried something similar, but apparently they don't filter out "spam" addresses, so my nospam@... gets as much spam as my others (more since I tend to use it in situations where I'm expecting my address to end up on yet another 'list')

So, I'll just backup and get to safety[^] and at the same time run over and crush the motorcylce behind me.

I once drove into a parking house at a mall on a saturday when all idiotic shoppers where out (well, including me for being there at the first place). The parking was almost full and there was a long que inside, but sudenly the car in front of me saw a car lightning up the reverse lights to back out of a parking place. So the car in front on me suddenly starts backing up without looking behind him, ha only came a meter and a half...<

But everyone is against computer driven cars, so this is what we have to learn to live with instead.. it's a simple choice.
It's easy to laugh at clips like these and say "what a stupid person, I'd never do anything like that" but we're all human, we all make mistakes, some with more serious consequences than others. Have I made mistakes driving? Of course - many, the same as every other driver - and every time I drive. Most people just don't realise they're making mistakes - that's the dangerous part.
With humans at the wheel, it's not "if" we're going to have an accident, it's "when and how bad". Computer driven vehicles won't stop accidents, but they'd certainly be a lot less often.
But hey, what about our freedom, eh?

That's exactly my point
There was an article in the news last week about the Google self-driven car having "another" accident (making it sound like it was the self-driven car that had caused the accidents).
When you actually read the article, it'd been rear-ended by a human driver... again!
I enjoy driving when I'm back in Wales, but it's a real hassle when closer to London. All in all, I'd rather have a computer driving me around when commuting, then have some fun driving at a local track or when the roads aren't congested.

I ran my car in to a ditch recently...
Stupid mistake because I was le tired. I'd love me a computer driven car. I'd be able to get 45 extra minutes of rest each way to and from work each day, 1 hour during the winters.
But atm I'm just looking forward to when cars gets sensors to help prevent wildlife accidents. Stastistics from 2009 said we had a total of 45000 wildlife collisions. And almost 6000 was with moose.

It's interesting how much safer flying became with the widespread use of autopilots
Luckily we don't have moose's here - on most roads the biggest thing you'd hit would be a sheep, badger, fox or small deer. There are some areas where there are bigger creatures roaming about, but not many.

I think it was on future predictions there is a prediction that quite soon we will see no more airplane accidents on larger aircrafts caused by piloting because ever since autopilot and more technology has been loaded on passenger aircrafts the accident frequency has constantly been reduced.
Sadly even when computers start to drive it will probably take quite some time to switch out the car fleet.ö
If you know the British comedy series Red Dwarf in there is a funny reference to moose related accidents in Sweden there where when the characters are asked what the most common cause of traffic accidents in Sweden is they all answer moose except one character which is driven insane on how those morons can get it right but not him.
But what has been most insane for me this spring was when I came back from being home with my kid and spring had broken out and the woods was filled with suicide birds. Not a day for a whole month where I didn't almost run in to cranes, wood geese regular geese and pheasants.
During the winter all I saw was deer and hares, is away for a month and it's almost like a Hitchcock movie.
Nothing like a large bird on the road that tries to take to flight "quickly". Luckily my windscreen is still whole.
Maybe I can get a computer driven car with an airsoft mounted to help motivate animals to stay away. Could work for pedestrians too.

Practically every fatal air incident these days is either caused by human error or deliberate action.

Same here. I can drive in heavy traffic if I have to; but live in a small town where closing two lanes on the 4 lane highway barely has any impact on travel time, bad traffic on my commute consists of two decrepit coal trucks side by side trying to pass each other going up a mountain instead of following each other in the slow lane.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My daughter gets her license tomorrow. Wow.
I remind her, not to make her afraid, but just because it is the truth.
Driving is the most dangerous thing the average person does on a regular basis.
A vehicle has the capacity to wreak immense havoc on peoples lives and property.
Avoid distractions, don't be in a hurry, leave extra room.
I think the self driving cars will be great. I was given an Acura TLX loaner with
the "warning" system in place. Way cool. Putting the turn signal on, it detects objects
in the way, blinks the light on the side view mirror, and buzzes the seat.
Now I am afraid people will get used to it (like airbags) and drive less safely. That device
will fail, and they will side swipe someone. Or they borrow someone elses car and try to rely
on a feature that isn't there.
