Farewell FAQers

Recommended Posts

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but there is a Java problem and users are encouraged to disable java in thier browsers immediatley.

I have not had problems since the one a couple of weeks ago but I didn't open the page when I got the warning.

I'm on Vista using Chrome.

I generally look at the faq at least once a day from any one of my devices and I've had no problems at all getting on ......windows 7 laptop at home windows 7 pc at work, my iPad, my iTouch, and my droid phone have had no issues with security alerts.

I am getting the same attacks but my virus software is catching all of them. The problem comes when or if you accidentally click on one of the ads. If you have done that then your computer is infected and it will take someone very knowledgeable to fix your system. If you never have clicked on one of the pop-up ads your ok.

Homeland security IT folks recommended disabling Java to all computer users. This is a rare occurrence.

buy a MAC or an iPad Bro..................

you are assuming he doesn't already have one?

just make sure AV and OS patches are up to date....which should be done anyway on whatever system you have. there are hundreds of us that are having zero issues with the 02faq.

...........if he had a MAC we wouldn't be having this conversation and he'd be staying put - BRO

I love this Board. And its members. But the site keeps crashing my computer. I have tried everything - and my brother-in-law is a cyber security expert (he is in charge of security for a very well known government investigative body that rhymes with eff bee eye) - and even he says, "there's some bad stuff going on here ..."

I'm accessing the site now from a business center, simply so that I can say goodbye - while risking someone else's computer, not mine.

It's too bad, too. I will miss you good folks. As will Jesse. And the beach volleyball girls. And the UPS girls. And the cats. Lots and lots of cats.

Save the kitties!

Farewell, and best regards. It's been fun. But Otis has left the building ... :-((

You will be missed buddy......

hope you come back in the future maybe on a mac or iphone. (safer)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
