No, I don't mean that they were all accidents and that you dropped them on their heads as babies. What are some things that you grew up with that have gone the way of the dinosaurs (or will go extinct soon)?
For example these are some of mine:
VHS tapes
Floppy Disks
Film cameras
Answering machines
Payphones and phonebooks
Phones that are only used for talking to people
Blowing the dust out of nintendo cartridges
Manually unlocking car doors
Public libraries
Using a road atlas and not google maps (or another service)
Add your own and if you're really old (over 30) be sure to include things like:
Using a horse as your main form of transportation
Using Morse code
Living in a time when only white men could vote
Films without sound
Polio
Sitting for portraits
American flags with fewer than 45 stars

Giving a halfpenny

Remember the guy who got stranded in the snow and died a couple of years ago taking the"short cut"to the coast that showed up on his car navigation system? I found a lady much in need of directions yesterday who was trying to tow a small trailer with a small SUV over the crappy washed out logging road to Cave Junction,to my amazement the lame GPS unit she had did not differentiate between paved county roads and roads that the the locals wouldnt take without a 4 wheel drive.

My wife did something like that in Alabama
Our Garmin told her to go to drive 40 minutes on the freeway to a place that was 10 minutes away on the highway.
We had something similar happen in Slovenia.
It was paved road, but it took us up and over the mountain and a narrow, winding road that took almost twice as long as taking the highway around the mountain.
One reason why I still rely on maps.

Black and white television
Television with just 3 channels, so about everyone had watched the same things the next morning
No television in the summer (I had seen that on Iceland)
TV without ads (there are some even on my pay-tv channels)

LPs on Vinyl (still used by DJs and collectors)
Computers and mobile devices without Internet (my mother still uses hers mostly as a typewriter with storage. When I sit in front of one, it’s all but useless to me)
No computers in school (I had that)/class (many classes still do, but it might change for taking notes)/the workplace
Overhead projectors for slides, drawings, notes (I was surprised when a professor recently still used that extensively)
Maybe individual stamps (some postal systems seem to be working on this. Everything is pre-stamped)

I wish that Star Trek society came: No currency, no wars (on earth), everyone does jobs they like and are able to do, ...
I know a politician/businessman who is trying to get a policy with a very high “base salary” going for every citizen above 18. Say $1500 dollars per month or even a bit more. Independent of if you work or not. He believes then everyone who wanted to earn additional money would do it, by doing things she or he likes to do, without worrying about having to earn your basic income if you go through a bad phase. Of course the whole system depends on some factors like how many people of working age there are, when retirement age and how high pensions would be, and how many “slackers” there would be who were just satisfied with doing nothing and still getting paid by the state. He believes it wouldn’t be so many to disturb the system (he is also pretty antroposophic in his views), more conservative politicians disagree.

Star Trek did it by creating a dirt cheap energy source and replicators (for the non trek fans, replicators can create just about any substance).

"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Cheap energy is far and away the most effective means of raising everyone's

cheap enengy won't do us much good if the planet is too warm to live on
but yes, a huge hike in energy prices is a stupid way to control emissions. We need alternatives first or else we won’t have a strong enough economy to fight global warming anyway.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Warmer temperatures tend to make it more conducive to life.
One of the things that shows how over the top many of the GW proponents are is their insistence that humans are threatened with extinction by the planet getting warmer. That’s hog wash.
hakkaa päälle !
You may want to refine your statement
Extinction is over the top alarmist, but millions of deaths are possible depending on the amount of warming.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Perhaps
but I think that we can all agree that ice caps melt and sea levels rise 100 feet (as some predict) that will make a huge impact on a whole host of large cities on coasts.
Perhaps.
The 100 ft of sea rise is pretty excessive. I believe even the IPCCC revised it’s number downward this year (to something like 11 ft).
The point is there is a huge gap between “huge impact” and “millions of deaths”. I can agree that if you accept some of the realistic worse case scenerios, the world economy could greatly impacted. But then many of the solutions being bandied about could end up doing the same.
Let’s not foget that lovely little favor environmental activists have given us over the issue of DDT. The number of deaths world wide from malaria is in the millions. Annually. Mostly children. The world humanitarians allow this to occur year after year even though there is a proven solution to the problem. But no, it is far more important to save a few birds than it is to prevent the deaths of human beings.
hakkaa päälle !
uh...
the WHO and several key environmental groups support use of DDT to fight malaria in Africa, where the majority of those deaths occur. One problem is that widespread use of DDT (ie for agricultural purposes) can lead to proliferation of DDT resistant mosquitos, but limited and targeted use of it has wide support.
They only recently did - 2006
And while the use of any insecticide can result in resistant strains, I don’t think it has been documented to be as wide spread of a threat as not spraying at all.
The point still stands that by playing to peoples emotion, millions were allowed to die for decades. That, to me, is a warped sense of priorities and values.

It was a wrong that was corrected
Many people had legitimate concerns about the use of DDT, because of the resistant strains. In the end, those concerns were not enough to warrant no spraying at all. It was a mistake that was corrected too late to save a lot of people. You still should not have used the present tense when you wrote:
The world humanitarians allow this to occur year after year even though there is a proven solution to the problem. But no, it is far more important to save a few birds than it is to prevent the deaths of human beings.
Additionally, while (as discussed) the concerns weren’t fully justified, it is disingenuous to suggest that the majority of humanitarians were concerned about DDT use in Africa because of a “few birds” when in reality the primary concern was DDT resistant mosquitos.

I'md not sure what you're saying here
if conventional wisdom proves to be wrong on global warming we’re all fine.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
You may be fine and I may also.
If they are wrong, all it will probably cost us is dollars and possibly some of the freedom to do as we choose.
But there are a billion or more people on this planet who not only do not have it as good as any of us here at BE, but are down right dirt poor. And what is the most crucial component to their chances of improving their standard of living? Inexpensive energy.
Apparently those concerned about the welfare of the planet don’t bother themselves about many of the people on it, other than in the abstract. No matter though. Those people, or more accurately, the political leaders of the countries they live in, will have the last word, since it won’t matter if all of the nations of the developed world meet and even exceed their proposed targets in CO2 reductions.
hakkaa päälle !
in some cases.
things like composting toilets and gravity driven pipe networks for water can drastically improve the health of rural communities.
stopping global warming will be painful
in the short run and will save our butts in the long run. Do you think anyone will care about all the cheap fossil fuel energy they got if their homes are flooded and their crops are wilting away in the heat?
I see the Earth as one large tragedy of the commons. In the United States we have the resources to do pretty much anything we want. We can consume what we want, when we want. However, that freedom and our vast usage of resources is hurting the planet and could cripple it if we continue those consumptions patterns. All the freedom in the world isn’t going to feed starving people.
Yes, we should protect our freedoms, but let’s not cheapen the word by pretending we need the freedom to eat 500 lbs of beef a year or keep all our houses at exactly 72 degrees or drive a hummer. We can give up some luxuries, protect our important freedoms and still save the planet
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Would you prefer to ignore the best available science?
We scientists aren’t going to get everything right but climate change scientists, a number of which I consider friends and colleagues, are doing their darndest to predict the future of the climate and come up with viable solutions and alternatives. Its really hard to do correctly.
As Magnum alludes to, a lot of us hope that our worst fears will not prove true.

Ok, there is another component of the climate change debate ...
… that drives me a little up the wall. I was also a graduate student in the Environmental Sciences and Engineering. Earned my Master’s. So I know that you know that when people start using terms like best available science, or even more maddening, say that the debate is over, have just stepped away from science and crossed over into politics.
There are good scientists and researchers on both sides of this issue and scientific debate is never over. A good scientist knows that even when he is convinced his hypothesis or theory is correct (and global warming is still a theory), he doesn’t stop testing it.
I don’t want to get into an argument with you jksnake, Strike that, I do want to, in the sense of a civil discourse. One of the reasons I like you is you strike me as an intelligent young guy who isn’t afraid to defend his opinions. And I have no doubt that those friends and colleagues are doing their best. I would hope so, as it is what they are getting paid to do. Scientists and researchers get paid. If you do research at a university you know that your life blood is finding research dollars to fund your work. And guess where the money has been the last decade?
As as for the solutions you refer to – well, I don’t need any of the three degrees I have to figure one thing out. The arithmatic I learned in grade school is suffcient. And that has to do with one of the most touted solutions we keep hearing about.
I work for a company that is one of the biggest producers of wind generated electricy. And the reason we are? Because that is where the money is and where the politicians want us to be. We have state mandated levels for “renewables” that do not recognize hydro or nuclear. Then there are the federal and state subsidies and tax incentives that make wind generation pencil out. Finally, thanks to the disfunctional clowns in California, there is also a market for selling “renewable” power above what we are mandidated for, at a premium.
But here is where that arithmetic I mentioned comes into play. Approximately 50% of US baseline generation comes from coal. Another 20% from nuclear. Even the most optomistic proponents of wind power estimate that wind will provide 25% of the current demand. And that will take until 2050 to achieve. Even if one were to assume that conservation programs and improvements in efficient devices would keep demand at current levels 40 years from now, you still have a huge gap between supply and demand. And I certainly am not confident in demand staying steady. Not if the plan includes transforming of the automotive and trucking system into a hybrid/all electric fleet.
So if we are not going to burn coal and we are not going to build new nuclear plants, where are we going to get our energy from. Perhaps I’ll start taking the EPA (whose only source material referenced on their website is the IPCCC – i.e. a government funded group of people who are more beaurecrats than scientists these days) seriously when I start seeing the government pushing to build new nuclear power plants. Until then, I’ll wait until the evidence gets a little better.
btw – thanks for the debate. I pretty much keep quiet on the issue these days. While most of the people I know that have science and engineering backgrounds tend to agree with me, the majority of people that don’t are well past asking questions and have bought into the argument that the debate is truely over.

You are being disingenuous again, timg
There are good scientists and researchers on both sides of this issue and scientific debate is never over. A good scientist knows that even when he is convinced his hypothesis or theory is correct (and global warming is still a theory), he doesn’t stop testing it.
While perhaps true, this is extremely misleading. The number of peer reviewed papers in top journals written by climate change skeptics is very, very small. In the scientific community, the debate on whether climate change is real and is significantly affected by man-made effects is over. If you went to a scientific meeting of the American Geophysical Union and tried to argue otherwise, you’d be pretty much on your own. The debate about how bad the impacts will be and on the best management policies, of course, is a long way from over. Climate change scientists have not stopped testing their theories— I don’t know what you think they do with their time. Global Climate Models (GCMs) are getting better, but there is still a fair amount of discrepancy between them— they’ve got a long way to go.
While most of the people I know that have science and engineering backgrounds tend to agree with me, the majority of people that don’t are well past asking questions and have bought into the argument that the debate is truely over.
If you mean about the need for nuclear energy, maybe. I’m certainly not opposed to nuclear being part of the solution, along with renewables and energy conservation. If you mean that most people with science/engineering backgrounds tend to agree with you that there is still a debate on whether climate change is real and significantly affected by humans, then you and your acquaintances really need to take a closer look at the literature in the top peer-reviewed journals.
By the way, I don’t know if you’ve had the opportunity, but I’ve listened to panel discussions featuring IPCC scientists. One of the biggest takeaways is that the scientists have generally pushed for the IPCC reports to be more hard-hitting, but bureaucrat have made sure some of the most dire predictions remain out of the reports.

MD 20/20 is one of them
One of the strongest is called Cysco. There is a market in Ptown called Swan Mart that used to sell it. The clerk told me to be careful with that. He said, “its gunna kick your @$$!” It did.
I got called Mad Dog my junior year in high school because I drank a bunch at a party
That stuff is nasty. Cysco is like concentrated Kool-Aid. Every have Wild Irish Rose?

What is it called? It isn’t Mad Dog 20/20…
Ohhhhh, yeah, Thunderbird.
What’s the price? Twenty twice. Nice. Thunderbird.
There was a clerk at Keinows
That tried to talk me into making an ice cream and MD 20/20 shake. I was seriously considering it, until he mentioned beer shakes are good too, then he lost ALL credibility after that.
Why do I talk to clerks about bum wines?
For a little bit one year in college
I had a running joke where I would go to a party and bring with me a big bottle of whatever cheapie bum wiine I could find.
Thunderbird made me feel the grossest by far. It was a dumb joke, but I got to try all the drinks I’d been seeing since I was a kid.

They are mostly running plays. And on Saturday an intra-squad scrimmage that is open to the public.
Casey will be there for the Blazers. A lot of other media. A lot of team personnel. And a lot of good players to play against.
As said yesterday I don’t think they will select Blazers for the next world championships (only about 4 spots open before any injuries, and there are other needs to fill). Maybe for 2012 in London. But for Greg it will be a nice experience, like it was for LaMarcus and Bayless last year.
I really think Greg is the real deal
Sure, he may never be the greatest that ever played the game.
But his comment about not being outworked – he’s already proved that to me. He was working in those playoff games. Coming off MF surgery, the time spent this summer to continue to get healthy and strong will be just what the doctor ordered.

That comment is from Grant. But if Greg adopts that mindset he will be unstoppable, since he is much bigger and better than Grant.
And yes, I liked what Greg did late in the season. Oden is a bigger body than Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum. 6’11’’-7’0’’, 260 to 275 pounds. And while he won’t come back as athletic just yet (he was in college) and has less refined offensive moves, he will be very close soon enough. He already blocked out Bynum in their last matchup at the end of the season and scored on him with the nice up-and-under move. And unlike the article says, did a very good job fronting Yao in the playoffs starting in game 2 to deny him the easy entry pass. Yao is impossible to stop on offense, but Oden did a better job slowing him down than most other centers in years. Yao said himself during the playoffs he was more impressed by Oden than by Howard. The Blazers don’t need a center who scores 30 points every other night, that’s what the pundits don’t understand. That’s also why all comparisons to Durant are moot, who scores great but hurts the team on defense (would still be nice to have such a scorer next to Roy). They need another player who grabs 10+ rebounds, makes a few points off inside plays and putbacks and from the line, and especially makes some big defensive plays. In a rotation with Przybilla and Aldridge, that will be a front court few other teams can match.
Good catch, I see now he said "the words stuck with Oden."
That answers the question I had about the "bigger than me" aspect, not too many bigger than Greg.
Most times I mention Greg playing good in the playoffs, I get the, Yeah against Mutombo. But I thought Greg’s play was solid all around. Glad to hear Yao said that.

When I lived there, we would go to the Dockside or Taco Tuesday and they had a sign in it that said, “We will be closed for filming The Hunted.”
Dockside Saloon Located at 2047 NW Front Avenue (industrial area), you can get a good lunch or breakfast (they open at 5 AM). Try their hash browns! The Dockside gave 63 interviews to various newspapers, magazines, and TV shows in January 1994. All because of their garbage. On January 30, 1994, Kathy Peterson (waitress, dishwasher, bookkeeper, and owner along with her husband Terry Peterson) was emptying the garbage when she came upon several bags of trash that somebody had left in the dumpster. Kathy examined the garbage and among the items found was an envelope with information concerning Nancy Kerrigan’s practice schedule at her home rink (Tony Kent Arena). The handwriting was that of Portland’s Olympic skater Tonya Harding. She had earlier denied any involvement in the “club” incident when her husband (now former) and a friend did the ‘knee-cap job’ on Nancy. The Dockside garbage proved otherwise. Neither Tonya Harding nor any of her cohorts had ever visited the Dockside − they most likely found the dumpster convenient as they drove by and unloaded the evidence.
To quote from the backside of the menu at the Dockside, “Please remember this… be careful where you dump your trash, you never know who will find it.”
Oh yeah

Not completely for me, but it has slowed down in the last few years. I remember special folders with one sheet of paper on each side where the boss had to sign memos and such. Now the memo is just an email to all. Except for personnel issues, few things need physical evidence on paper.

That really did stink for Mac users for a few years
There were no USB flash drives until around 2004, and broadband was still a rarity for a few more years. They usually needed to buy a nifty Mac-styled (it had to match!) USB floppy drive.
Of course, the puck mouse was the real hard part of the original iMac. Almost everyone replaced that.
My freshman year in college
we had these chemistry excercises that we needed to turn in for credit. They came on a floppy disc that we needed to buy. After the professor finished explaining the process for turning in your scores, a kid raised his hand and said, “I bought a Mac, and there isn’t a floppy drive, what should I do?”
The professor replied “You should have bought a different computer,” and then moved on to the next question.

I did something similar to that
faxing stuff is pretty expensive, but I think I got around it all right.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
Until we have easy-to-use, trustworthy, cheap encryption on the Internet to send sensitive files from person-to-person...
Faxing will always have a place in modern society.
how is faxing any more
secure than anything on the internet? I would venture to guess that it is not hard to tap into a fax signal and that its security comes from its lack of usage rather than any inherent security.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
While I haven't seen anyone tap into a fax signal (since it's a 1-to-1 connection),
I also imagine it would be harder than intercepting an e-mail simply by….
1.) intercepting the data via a hop in the path
2.) hacking the e-mail account or figuring out the password
3.) installing something on the laptop to remove data
(among others of course, that’s separate from problems with consumer-level encryption)
Faxing is still the choice of financial and medical institutions over Internet access, the last time I heard.
say faxing was the #1 form of communication
then there would be a large impetus to try and get that data, and since a 3rd party could monitor that communication without being noticed then it is relatively unsafe. Based off of your description there are more ways to mine data sent through email, but I imagine faxing is on its way out as a secure form of communication. Especially since QKD is pretty feasible and has already been used in commercial applications.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
Well, Faxing was one of the top communication methods for sending paperwork for years prior to the Internet
So I’m sure there’s been plenty of opportunity to attack the data, but it’s still used and considered reliable.
Keep in mind, I was noting encryption at the consumer level (person to person) in my original note, not business level. If QKD is being adopted at the consumer and small business level as an easy cheap solution, I hadn’t run across it yet.
Don’t get me wrong, there are other alternatives, but Fax is still the standby solution for these needs. Probably will be for years to come.
I feel weird defending faxing. I despise faxing.
I guess faxing
would be attacked more if there was an easy to see financial gain, but why attack faxing when there is so much low hanging fruit around.
I havent seen QKD at a consumer level yet, but there is nothing outrageously expensive about the hardware, only that it is manufactured in relatively small quantities. It is not hard to envision it being widely used in the near future.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
Yep, it's inevitable that someone will move encryption to the average consumer and small business level
I think it’s still a little further out, purely due to a few problems, but it will definitely happen sooner or later.
what problems do you see?
It is not too hard to make decent photodetector, and photon entanglement is easy to achieve and is stable. Maybe small bandwidth would be a problem, but if security is valued it seems like the way to go.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
The primary problem for me isn't the theory, but the practice: coding a seamless end user experience
No matter how well designed the system is, it’s still dependent on the end users being comfortable with it. That requires some very very smart folks who can build a nice, straightforward interface that people are willing to use. This always lags behind the technology.
As you noted above “if security is valued”. That’s also a barrier to end user adoption, as I’m sure you’ve run across. Basically, businesses would likely need to force it upon them.
that seems like a reasonable
concern.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
In the practical sense
Fax security is limited no matter what the tech advances are. Anyone can walk by a fax machine and pick up the received faxes. Many businesses still send/receive credit card payments via fax.
Yeah I think that's an accepted limit
Better to control your own physical security, than to hope all the mail servers are secured when your message hops across them.
And of course, that’s no problem for most end users at home.
I'm really hopeful the kinks are worked out though
I’d like to be able to have secure communication on the Internet, with people who can decrypt my messages properly.
I mean, most major medical facilities will only communicate over their own secure web site interface. They won’t use e-mail and don’t have a secure e-mail option. Same for most other places with sensitive data. Some places don’t have policies and have no problems sending sensitive stuff over cleartext mail (argh).
So I’m strongly in favor of a crypto solution that’s ubiquitous across the net to make secure communication easier. I just have a bad feeling that fax will still be the secure communication of choice 5 years from now.
So I’m pretty sure you and I are very much on the same page.

I’m not an idiot, so they can’t really sneak it by me if they’re texting or something. I’ll take them and send them to the front office, but pretty much tell them not to embarrass themselves with their phones (ie-have them go off, use them at inappropriate times, have them out when CLEARLY anyone they could possibly talk to is at school too, etc.)
The schools I work with are all cool with them but mainly as a parent-kid communication tool. I would like to ban them at school but that won’t happen anytime soon.
This sounds harsh, but most of the kids I work with simply can’t afford phones so I’m lucky in that respect.

While standing in line for photos, I heard my dad’s voice from behind me say “Who’s the hot chick in the brown dress?” My uncle responds “Uh, that’s your daughter.” Silence. FMLToday, while walking through the park, a little boy came running up to me and hit me in the nuts with a stick. I fell on the ground and looked up just in time to see his mom giving him the thumbs up with a smile on her face. FMLToday, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. At that point I noticed my phone had fallen out of my pocket in the street and was run over by several cars. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML

Will kids know that the Knicks used to be a good team?
The Knicks were my 2nd favorite team of the 90’s. Everyone had a nasty streak. Even though he was a tool, John Starks’ puffy face on free throws was awesome. Oakley would one-hand rebound, then bounce the ball once, give everyone the screw-face, and the whole opposing team would back up. Ewing was just the man. I wish someone would talk Oden into wearing pads all over his body.
I was a huge
mid 90s knicks fan as well. How the mighty have fallen.
