The year 2000 from a past perspective
Thread: The year 2000 from a past perspective
George 1978
DYR fan
Nottingham, UK
So this happens to be my 2,000th "official" post (even though it would have been a few more, once upon a time) - hallelujah!
As I have now clocked up 2,000 posts on the DYR meter with this very post, I thought that I would start a new thread about, appropriately enough, the year 2000 when it always seemed to be in the future when we were growing up.
The tabloid newspapers still had this "Tomorrow's World" feel towards the year 2000 as late as 1995, saying that a lot of technology would be in existence and a lot of things predicted during the latter half of the 20th century. Even as a 1980s child, the year 2000 was still a long way off - well, 1978 was a long time up to the mid 1980s for obvious reasons.
That year was seen as a yardstick or even a deadline as to achieving something - when Hollywood actor George Burns appeared on Des O'Connor Tonight in 1992 at the age of 96, my late father said that he will live to be 100, while my late mother said that he will live to see the year 2000 - my father was correct as he died a few weeks after his 100th birthday in 1996. The Queen Mother's life was also used as a yardstick to measure time as we knew that she was 86 in 1986 for example.
But what about 2000 from, let's say, a 1984 perspective? Did the thought of approaching the year 2000 seem scary to yourself, and that anything after 2000 seem "out of bounds" and into another dimension? Then we had those space series and parodies that by 2000 we would be in the space age, but it wasn't quite like that when we eventually got there. Space 1999, anyone? 2001 - A Space Odyssey? Perhaps George Orwell had missed a trick by choosing an earlier year such as 1984.
What about those who lived in the 1950s and 1960s and viewed 2000 from back then? I know that in the final three decades in which is the scope of this forum, they were decades which got us prepared for the year 2000. After six decades of imperialism in the 20th century, along come the 1960s where one starts to break away from the conservative ways of life inherited from the start of that century. And then we had colour television, decimalisation, and all that - life started to be familiar to us. Just like the Millennium Bug, I thought that the dates stopped at 99 and couldn't go any further - what was to happen after that? Since 2000 I have always written dates with the year in four digits rather than just the final two which I actually did up until 1999.
At school in the 1980s, it felt that the 1990s was in the future but in a more reachable fashion. When we had a go at writing our own horoscopes in class I wrote that "I will have lots of luck in the 1990s". The teacher actually commented that I would probably have a long time to wait, even though it was written in 1989!
So what did you think about the year 2000 being in the future when you were around growing up back in the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s - did you have any goals to achieve by then such as be a millionaire or something?
I am now in my 40s (just in case anyone asks).

Re: The year 2000 from a past perspective
Well one thing is my target was to move out get my own place by year 2000 which i did do
growing up in the 70's 80's the year 200 was such a long way away to me im a mid seventies baby
growing up here in n.i. Through the yrs i wanted to see peace here from the ira by the year 2000 which i think was achieved well it was not as bad as it had been thru 7o's and 80's thankfully.
JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE TO THE YEAR 2000 WITH BOMBS GOING OFF REGULAR IN MY CHILDHOOD NOT JUST FROM THE IRA BUT OTHER PARAMILITARY GRPS WAS SOMETHING I GLAD I DID.

For a long time before the millennium a lot of things had 2000 as part of the name to make them sound futuristic, some of which were dated by the time the 21st century started.

I remember sitting in junior school in the 70s and thinking how far away the year 2000 would be, that i'd be "well old" (30), and probably married with a kid and we'd living on the moon.......
Back to the Future had a very different view of 2015 than the actuality, same with the original Blade Runner with 2019, although we've still got 6 months to go so who knows!
I remember a local club changed its name to TOTS2000 to seem futuristic, that got changed later because it didn't age well as a concept.
On the extras of the Back To The Future DVD box set the makers admit they were never going to get 2015 correct so deliberately played up the wow factor.
The 1980s Cafe scenes get funnier every time at watch it, as they managed to pick on so many of the right things that are remembered about the decade even before it ended.

My 2 main memories of 2000 are Mel and Ian's Wedding on eastEnders on Millenium Eve and Bradford defying every concievable odd to stay in the Premier by beating Liverpool and relegating the masters of escapeology (Wimbledon) from the Premier who everybody thought had no right to be there at all
I recall Wimbledon "sinking like a ship" falling in those last few weeks of 1999/00 until they just got stuck in the quicksand as if it was yesterday and I recall exactly where I was upon reading that Egil Olsen had left after taking over from Joe Kinnear and thinking "is this real, for Wimbledon - the masters of such fete" and the same for Bradford staying up I recall that day (or afternoon) exactly too
I faintly recall a programme which must have been from 1970, where the presenter referred to how things would be "in 30 years' time", i.e. 2000. That is the extent of that memory!
Of course, the upcoming year 2000 took on extra significance closer to the time with regard to Y2K...
Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas - go figure!
I remember seeing clips of a news of a future show made in the 1970s, which featured Richard Baker, who was also interviewed about it.

Higher Rates of Alcohol Dependence Linked to Blue Eyes?
A recent study suggests that people with blue eyes have a higher chance of becoming alcohol dependent than those with dark coloured eyes. The related research reveals that a genetic overlap could be the reason behind this.

Michael turned 8 on November 14, so we spent a few days in the home of waffles and chocolate, two of his favorite foods. Thanks to a school holiday in observance of 17 November, we had a three day weekend; we turned it into 4 and let the kids ditch a day of school.
We arrived in the old town of Brussels early afternoon, checked into our apartment and bundled up to go explore the city. Christmas preparations are in serious progress — the little stalls for the markets are in place, an enormous tree got placed in the center of the Grand Place, and decorations are popping up everywhere. It would have been fun to be there this weekend instead to see all the holiday glory.
It was chilly and grey but not bone-chilling. Lots of plants were still alive — geraniums and pansies and other greenery looked happy right along side the pine garland. We found a frites stand and shared some on a bench, with mayonnaise just like the Belgians do it. Michael and Peter stuck with ketchup. There was a waffle stand conveniently next to the frites, so the boys enjoyed a Belgian waffle. They are works of art. Then we wandered and explored the old parts of the city, found the Mannekin Pis, walked in and out of chocolate shops, through alleys, into a bookstore and then ducked into the Delirium Brewery for 2 beers (or was it 4?), 2 strawberry juices, 2 games of go fish and 4 rounds of photos in the booth next to our table. Delirium's Tremens is my new favorite beer, and yes it's probably because of the pink elephant. I found out later that delirium tremens is actually a medical condition caused by a rapid withdrawal from alcohol. These Belgians are quite funny – statues of things peeing throughout the city their award winning beer is named for alcohol withdrawal.
We had moules for dinner in Chez Leon, a Brussels institution. They were great. Peter fell asleep with his head on Demetri's lap. The manager gave me a photo from 1904 of the entire restaurant staff (the Leon family); they're on their 7th generation of leadership.
Friday morning we hopped the train to Bruges, which is more beautiful and fairytale-esque than Prague. The city was occupied by the Germans in both World Wars but escaped major damage. Markt Square is huge and gorgeous (also setting up Christmas markets, skating rink and the big tree) and looks like the old Europe visions in your head. Its most famous landmark is a 13th century church belfry that has 48 carillons in it — with a talented, enthusiastic carillon player who delights the city with song after song. At one point he played Despacito, which was utterly amazing and hilarious. In the middle ages, Bruges was the second largest and most important port in Europe and the city sits on canals like Amsterdam and Venice. We took a boat ride around the city and saw the sites from the water. A Michelangelo statue of Madonna and Child is housed in the Church of our Lady (Notre Dame) and there's a medieval hospital that is now a museum and we saw a Picasso and Miro exhibit there. We had a lovely lunch in a bistro off Markt Square and dinner in another fabulous little bistro where we got the very last table.
Saturday we wandered into a few more chocolate shops, took a carriage ride at Peter's request, and hopped back on the train to Ghent, which is only slightly less beautiful than Bruges. It's a university town and quite large, but the center of the old city is quite near the train station, so we locked our duffels up and jumped on the tram headed for the Gravensteen Castle.
Built by Philip of Alsace in 1180, Gravensteen was restored in the 19th century. It's humongous and the self-guided tour takes you through almost the whole thing. There are a couple of rooms set up as torture chambers — a guillotine sits in the center of one of these rooms and there are displays of daggers, knives, axes around it, and a model of someone with his hands behind his back and a funnel in his mouth. Michael's artwork for the next couple of days was most certainly influenced by this visit, as he drew a guillotine with great detail, including the bag that sits in front that catches the heads.
We had more french fries on the street, a beer in an adorable bar and a waffle a few blocks down. Nobody believed me but agreed in the end that a hot, plain waffle was much tastier than one covered in whipped cream or nutella. We walked down Graffiti street, past more chocolate shops and churches, and boarded the train back to Brussels when it got dark. We walked the 2 miles from the train station to our hotel near the EU and UN headquarters, passing the palaces and the city parks along the way.
Early Sunday morning, Peter rolled off his bed and hit his mouth on the nightstand. He chipped his right front tooth, cut his lip and did something on the left side, maybe just an injury to the gum or maybe to the tooth itself. Poor fella, not the nicest way to wake up.
We're back in Voula and coming down off the carb high. Peter's mouth is much better; the pain and swelling has reduced considerably and the tooth is not moving. The pediatrician said it sounds like just a cut and reminded me that this is a baby tooth so even if it's damaged, it's not long for this world anyway. And then she gave me the name of a dentist.

First of all pomme fritz with mayo is the BOMB!
Second, I loved the different outfits that the manekin piss used to wear.
Third….my parents lived in Ghent for a bit opening up the first Samsonite store. We all went back there in 1991 to see the old homestead. Very cool. Glad you had a wonderful time.

Tribal War
October 7, 2008 by Marion Maneker
Kate Taylor was a star at the New York Sun. She reappears quickly after that paper's demise in the New York Times. Let's hope they make the most of their good fortune. Here Taylor details the internecine battle among John and Marcia Friede's heirs over their collection of tribal art ear-marked for San Francisco's de Young Museum:
A feud between Mr. Friede, 70, and his two brothers over their mother's estate has led to litigation in three states, with the two brothers, the museum and Sotheby's auction house all laying claim to the art.
[ . . . ] "My enormous preference would be to do what is traditionally done by big collectors who are not just boiling over with cash, where there is a small purchase and a large gift," he said, referring to the common museum practice of paying for only part of a donation's value, which allows the donor to claim a tax deduction and also reap direct proceeds. "Another possibility would be having to sell off a section" of the collection, he said. "That would be a darned shame."
The feud among the brothers would appear to have deep roots. Their mother, Evelyn A. J. Hall, who died in 2005, was a collector and philanthropist and a sister of the publishing magnate Walter Annenberg. By all evidence John Friede was her favorite son. She supported his collecting and business ventures with large sums and made gifts of art and endowed curatorships in their names at institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African Art.
"Mother and I were kindred souls," Mr. Friede said. Their closeness, Mr. Friede said, stirred deep resentment in his brothers, particularly his half-brother, Mr. Jaffe, whom he described as suffering from "pathological sibling rivalry."

To operate without power directly from the wall, a working battery is required. As batteries age sometimes their ability to hold a charge decreases and the battery must be replaced.
Lift rubber cover on the back of the laptop.
Remove 5.2 mm screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
Using the nylon spudger, remove the back center panel.
Remove the 5 mm Phillips screw that is located underneath the back panel.
Pull out the optical drive located on the side of the laptop.
Begin by removing the top four rubber stoppers that are highlighted in the photo using a pair of tweezers.
Remove the top four 8.5mm screws that are highlighted in the photo using a Phillips screwdriver.
The speakers are located on the top facing side of the computer, next to where the screen connects to the base.
Using a nylon spudger, carefully pry the top back panel off to reveal the speakers.
Remove the ten 5.2 mm screws holding the main panel in place, highlighted in the photo, with a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the four 5.2 mm screws underneath the center panel, highlighted in the photo, with a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the two 6.8 mm screws underneath to back panel, highlighted in the photo, with a Phillips screwdriver.
Use the plastic opening tool to pry the keyboard from the base of the laptop.

How to get to the lvds?
How to replace the lcd?
I have to agree with Sam Torres on this. I reached the same spot where the screen was off, but then which wire goes to which connector. The picture is too fuzzy to be completely clear. It looks like the one further to the back (lcd screen) might be the white one and the one closer to the front of the laptop (touchpad) might be teh black one but the only way to tell is to assemble everything and then get the bad or good news.
Remove the two 5.4 mm screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
Disconnect the pin connector that attaches the battery to the motherboard.
The battery can now be lifted away from the laptop.
VERY important. The guide doesn't mention detaching the display cable or the two small cables I assume is for the display's power. Please revise because I could have broken something if I wasn't paying attention.
A few steps in this guide are in the wrong order. Could get confusing for and unexperienced technician. Steps 10 - 12 should be before step 6. Other than that this was a very good guide.
Still not added,! Also the removal of three tiny screws under the lip of the CD Bay is completely unnecessary and they are very very difficult to put back in.

Joe steps up his fitness by playing the full 90 minutes
Striker featured in Central League match
Joe Pigott took a significant step on the road to full fitness by coming through 90 minutes for our development squad this afternoon.
The 25-year-old, who is Wimbledon's top scorer this season, has not played for the first-team since early December due to a thigh injury, but he today completed the full game in a Central League away match against Milton Keynes.
Coach Alan Reeves said: "Joe looked fine and he worked really hard up front against centre-backs from their first-team squad."
New signing Dylan Connolly, who came on for his debut at Coventry City, also boosted his match fitness by playing for 75 minutes.
Today's match ended in a 4-0 loss with two goals in each half for the hosts. The home side won it through Ryan Watson, Ousseynou Cisse, Lawson D'Ath, and a James O'Halloran own goal. Milton Keynes included six players from the first-team squad that were beaten at Bury on Saturday.
Wimbledon came closest to a goal through Kane Crichlow, who struck the underside of the crossbar and the match officials ruled that the ball hadn't crossed the line before it was cleared by David Kasumu. Connolly also shot wide in the first-half. Pigott and Tommy Wood were denied by home keeper Stuart Moore at vital moments.
Alan Reeves said that Wimbledon missed chances at important times and he felt that his side should have had a penalty with 15 minutes left as the referee initially pointed to the spot for handball.
"We had some good performances out there, but they were more experienced and clinical," said Alan. "They took their chances and that was the difference between the two sides. At 1-0 down, Tommy Wood was clean through, but his shot was saved, and they went down the other end and made it 2-0. We also had a penalty awarded to us at 3-0 down for handball, but the linesman intervened and the referee changed his mind. On the balance of play and chances created, the scoreline was harsh."
It was Wimbledon's first defeat at Under-23 development level since last September.
AFC Wimbledon: Nik Tzanev, Kyron Stabana, Toby Sibbick, Archie Proctor, James O'Halloran, Dylan Connolly (Jack Madelin), Ossama Ashley (Finlay Macnab), Alfie Egan, Kane Crichlow, Tommy Wood, Joe Pigott.

Q: ASP.NET ViewState postback with page refresh and bookmarks The ASP.NET ViewState feature can sometimes be a double edged sword. I rely on it on most of my projects and it speeds up development considerably.
My problem is that sometimes users will try to refresh a page which will cause the viewstate to be lost, other times the user might want to bookmark a page but when the get back the viewstate will be lost.
Modern browsers will display a silly dialog when a user tries to refresh a page that is the result of a POST operation (e.g. asp postback) which is not desirable at all.
I wonder is their a way to continue using ViewState and the postback model but without the drawback of the refresh dialog box. (and if possible bookmark the page.)
An example of what i might want to do is having a page with records and checkboxes next to them, the user has the option to check all the records they want to delete and then click on a delete button. After the user clicks delete the records are analyzed on the server and the new page lists all the records that were selected with a confirm delete button. Now if the user clicks refresh they get this silly box to confirm if they want to post or not.
I understant that ViewState is the result of using the Post Back model which means that most asp.net pages are the result of a POST operation, but i wonder if there are any ways around it.
Workarounds that i thought might work:
In the Page_Unload event save the viewstate in the session with a unique id and redirect the user to the same page with the unique id as a query string parameter, after the page loads with a unique id in the url the viewstate is loaded from the session and injected into the current page. Such a method will allow to user to refresh the page and always get back the same results.
P.S.
I understand that i can use Response.Redirect() and/or query strings but i want to use the simplicity of ViewState

A: My 2 cents: Instead of using the simplicity of ViewState sandbag use the simplicity of Session - which really is the same simplicity and you won't have to bother worrying about page refresh and stuff.
Moreover session is way more flexible since you can use it to store more than just built-in types without affecting performance (you can do it with ViewState as well but you will affect performance).

A: I'll give my opinions here one at a time.
The fact the dialogue warns you about a repeat post is a good thing IMO.  What if it were a checkout page and resubmitting was going to somehow end up re-charging the user's credit card again.  I agree the wording could be better on the dialogue but we are where we are.
If you think about bookmarking behaviour it implies that I will want to revisit that page time and again but its likely that my session will have ended well before that happens.  So you could save the viewstate to a GUID but then you'll have to keep that viewstate in the database potentially forever.  What if the page changes in the meantime?  That viewstate will now be invalid.
Surely in your case you want a query string parameter that will load your user's data from the database and populate the page during page_load as normal?  www.my-site.com/Customer.aspx?Id=90401  or something like that.
My suggestion is to not fight the tools.  Hope this helps.

A: Here's a couple reasons:

*

*Can't store complex types in the query string

*Query string is limited to about 2Kb in IE, which is not a lot

*Mis-use of the GET method - GET is literally for "getting" data (such as google's search bar) and POST is for "posting" data to the server in order to manipulate data on the server (such as contact forms).

*Anything relying on Page.IsPostBack would stop working.

A: This might not be an elegant solution, but I think if you change the form method to GET it solves both your bookmarking problem and refresh one.
It's the same as using query strings, but with the abstraction of VIEWSTATE left untouched.

Europe Travels
Late Summer and Early Fall, 1970
1970 Commercial Appeal article
After graduating from Memphis State University in August of 1969, I moved to Washington D.C. and lived with my brother. After working for one year and making a fair amount of money, I went to Europe. At that time I knew of no people who went to Europe. The only way I could think of going was going in some kind of group. So I joined about 800 students and teachers from my alma mater MSU who where leaving Memphis the first of July to go to University of Innsbruck for one month. It was supposed to be a travel study program where we would spend about three weeks studying in the University of Innsbruck, one week of travel and then fly back to the United States.
When it came time to fly back to the United States, everyone but me got on the plane. I had seen kids hitchhiking around Europe and not on a tour bus like I was, and I thought I would try it. So I stayed and hitchhiked around Europe for the next three months, August, September and October. In August the roads were filled with crowds of young people hitchhiking and staying at youth hostels. But then in September when school started and it began to turn cool, I became the lone hitchhiker on the roads with my large orange external frame backpack.
In Spain I met and hooked up with four other hippie travelers. Two were from the United States. One was a Berlin kid with long, long black hair, who did not speak any English. The fourth was a French Canadian from the Yukon name Tycho Langtree. This man was one of the most unusual people I have ever met and become friends with in all of my life. Tycoon was of French Canadian decent and had grown up in the Yukon. When very young his father had a shoot out with the Canadian Mounties when they had come to for Tycho to force him to go to school.
We all tried to go to Morocco together. We took a ferry from Malaga, Spain to Melilla, North Africa. Melilla is actually a small Spanish town located on the north coast of Morocco. We had no trouble getting into the town of Melilla, but we tried to take a taxi over the border to Morocco. But when we got to the border they would not let us in because of our long hair. We got kicked out of North Africa and sent back to Spain because. This was and is my only trip to Africa.
Once we pulled into some local place in the evening. A very large German shepherd was tied with a chain to the collar around his neck. He saw us and came after us before we got out of our car. Although I am not afraid of large dogs, this dog was terrifying. He was being restrained by the chain and was only on his two back paws and his front two were in the air as he strained to get at us. The dog was snarling and barking and looked mean and mad as hell. Although he was restrained by the chain, none of us wanted to get out of the car for fear of the chain breaking which it looked like it would. Well Tycho, will little hesitation, got out of the car walked right up to the dog and put his nose an inch from the dogs nose. The dog was barking, and snapping his mouth viciously, straining his leash trying to get at Tycho to tear him apart. Well for 10 minutes, Tycho was nose to nose with this rabid dog, talking to him in a low voice soothingly. Finally the dog backed dog and became a cute friendly German shepherd that we could all pat. I was dumbfounded and amazed.
Latter my four friends wanted to buy an old cheap car to drive to Italy. But the problem was that they all basically had no money. So the decision was made to return to Barcelona and sell some pot to make enough money to buy a car. So for the first and only time in my life, I dealt, much to my dismay. I sold to American sailors who where on shore leave. It was pretty nerve wracking as General Franco was still in control in Spain and soldiers with machine guns were every corner. But it all went smoothly and we bought an old used small car and were off to Italy.

American on far left, some local in a cowboy like hat, the Berlin kid in comtemplation, the other American, and Tycho Langtree on the far right. This was some kind of bar in Spain.
The next four photos was some kind of Western Movie Set somewhere in Spain. We visited and toured around this movie set. I sure would like to know where this movie set in Spain was. But for all I know it was located in the South of France or in Italy.

After persuading as many as 7 in 10 American adults to take a daily low dose of a common painkiller to protect against heart disease and cancer, experts now say it is time for more nuanced advice on who should and who shouldn't take the daily baby aspirin regimen.
Recent studies have shown that the believed protective benefits of low-dose aspirin need to be balanced against the risks of bleeding caused by the drug, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology have declared.
Tempting though it may be to dismiss doctors' howls about electronic health records—maybe they're Luddites or they're just another group of high-paid workers beefing about their job tools—the persistent and significant nightmare of the complicated computer systems has been this: Do they harm patient care?
The answer now may be: Yes, billions of taxpayer and private dollars spent on EHRs may be reducing patient safety.
They get reined in by public shaming, as seems to be occurring with a developing scandal over insider deals in the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS).
It takes prosecutors to check abuses, as is occurring with the college admissions mess and notably how it harms students with genuine need for learning accommodations.
Although research has shown that asbestos can cause cancer and other harmful illnesses and the federal government has sought to limit and even ban its use, yet another sizable judgment in a tainted talc case and the discovery of the substance in a popular cosmetics line shows how America's oversight and regulation of risky materials can be too slow and ineffective.
As the New York Times reported, a jury in the San Francisco area has joined similar deliberative panels in accepting claims that longtime use of Johnson & Johnson baby power causes cancers. The state jury decided that J&J must pay plaintiff Teresa Leavitt a total of $29 million because the company knew its talc was tainted with asbestos but failed to warn her and others. Leavitt, who used the product for three decades, was diagnosed in 2017 with mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of internal organs that is associated with asbestos.
Those who are senior enough to remember the allures of sweet drinks like Tang, Hawaiian Punch, and Kool-Aid also may need to be sage enough to share a deep, evidence-based distrust and disapproval for the nefarious actions of Big Sugar and Big Tobacco. Those suspicions may need to be renewed in regulators' crackdowns on vaping, its flavorings, and flavored tobacco cigarettes.
Yes, the federal Food and Drug Administration now has formally detailed its plan to curb the soaring youthful purchases and uses of e-cigarettes for vaping, telling merchants that they soon will be required to keep these goods, including flavored liquids that the devices catalyze, in separate walled off areas of stores and away from those age 18 and younger. This will affect not only big retailers like Walgreens and Wal-Marts but also gas stations and convenience stores.
Online vendors soon will be required to have mechanisms, so proof of age becomes part of cyber buys of e-cigarettes and their associated products.
For Americans of a certain age, the power of celebrity and sad news — the early death of acting heart-throb Luke Perry and the announced Stage 4 cancer diagnosis of game show host Alex Trebek — may offer important health warnings about two leading causes of death: strokes and cancer.

{-|

Get a document that identifies the data type - @getConsDoc ''Post@.

This is useful to select all documents mapped to a certain data type.
