05 May 07 - 04:51 PM (#2044112) Subject: RE: BS: Things that may be extinct in 10 years From: JohnInKansas In the interests of cultural history being documented, it must be asked if you applied the "Red Neck Test for Good Wine" and counted the threads on the cap. I'm told that three turns or more is a sure indication of "superior wine." (One shouldn't ask "superior to WHAT.") I doubt, however, that the cork will disappear until the last of the yuppies is gone, as it permits a higher price (usually) based on "elitism" or some such thing that can be advertised profitably.

Real cork, I have read, harbors a mold that used to ruin a couple of percent of all the wine that was bottled. That is a pretty heavy tax to pay for tradition. All the wine I have bought recently is stoppered with some kind of plastic. I would be delighted if it moved on to screw caps, but so far that is a sign of quality not even up to my very modest taste. Paper bank checks are disappearing pretty fast. I gather they are already very rare in Europe. A couple of kluges that ought to disappear but are not likely to do so in 10 yr are the reciprocating engine and the lead-acid battery. I wonder about the Internet. So far it has been defended successfully against malice & stupidity, but there is no guarantee that some fatal flaw won't turn up. |

This is of course a fallacy - as CFLs are just not suitable for many applications - they cannot be dimmed easily for one. Also they cost far more in expensive resources to make (part of the reason why they cost more to buy) and if used inappropriately - as in cases where they are switched on and off for short periods of time - their life is very short, even shorter than incandescants - thus they create far more 'greenhouse problem'. Also they can generate massive RFI... Since the Aussie pollies thought up this clanger (now being copied by other countries!), the Aussie Technical Magazine Silicon Chip has run some more real technical info on the matter... |

06 May 07 - 01:00 PM (#2044663) Subject: RE: BS: Things that may be extinct in 10 years From: Liz the Squeak The cork shortage happened because the cork oaks got a parasite that weakened them. The harvested corks were of inferior quality and the trees died from the parasite. Thus, a solution had to be thought of quickly or a whole years' wine harvest would have been pointless. The solution they thought of (rubbery plastic 'corks') was so cheap, successful and didn't harm any more trees, that the majority of the wine industry has adopted it. It makes no difference to the wine, it gives hardly any chance of a wine being 'corked' and it doesn't disintegrate in the neck of the bottle, necessitating the rapid hunting down and scrubbing of the tea strainer, in order to appreciate a glass of something soft and fruity. Bottle corks may be extinct in 10 years, but hopefully the cork oak won't be. LTS |

Is there no end to this lassie's ability to bring references to birds into threads? Still, you can use condoms after their use-by date for other purposes. Extinct in 10 years? Where can you, even now, find an honest politician to trust? Cheers, Rowan |

If the hardware survives, the software will have changed too much to read it. If the software survives, there'll be no hardware device to play it on. John |
