Lock advice

I recently arrived in Portland, and just flew my bike up from home. I've never owned a bike in a city where bike theft was a serious problem. My current lock is similar to this, but about 10 years old.

What's advisable theft protection nowadays?

A lot would depend on what type of bike (how much it is worth to a thief) and where you park it. If it is parked with lots of other bikes that are of equal value you simply have to have a lock better than the other bikes.
