The Space Jam movie website is still up from 1996, and it still has working links. http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm

Wow, I knew this was there but hadn't opened the console before. Quite the throwback. ? ? ?! Neat. I'd never seen a tag either: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...

You must have been a client, too. Brings back old memories. Also, have a look at the Groklaw archives if you haven't: http://www.groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=2006121221...

Wrong SCO. Caldera renamed themselves The SCO Group after acquiring the name and trademark from The Santa Cruz Operation in 2001. Later, things went south and the new SCO(G) turned litigious. The original SCO was not responsible for the later shenanigans, and it was painful to see their name dragged through the mud. See also: Cingular -> AT&T

Who is dragging what through the mud with Cingular and AT&T?

The title says "PizzaHut still serves it's first Homepage". From the (British) English grammar I studied in Italy, it should be "its" instead of "it's", and I remember seeing a debate about it a while ago. Can someone enlighten me? What's the right form?

Yes it should be “its” here.

Last modified Mon, 30 Dec 2013 if you use http://web-sniffer.net/ to look at the HTTP response header. Looks like they not just still serving it, but have updated it at some point in time also.

DOM is your friend :) document.lastModified;

Even today is useful and good at what it does for, say, interactive maps. Which is why it hasn't been removed.

How come tags are always in uppercase on really old sites and why did the transition to lowercase happen?

Some people will say it's XHTML. It's not just that. There's always been both in use and HTML has always been case-insensitive.

When Rasmus Lerdorf designed PHP in 1994, he made it have case-insensitive function names since at that time, neither side had won and he wanted it to look good in HTML:

  Hello !

  Hello !

And I was your trusted adviser.

Hand selecting x,y points was all the rage in the mid 90's.

Santa Cruz Operation*. It sounds like a warfare tactics thing, heh.

I was once told that the name was chosen to make it easier to cold call potential customers. Saying "Hi, this is Dave from the Santa Cruz Operation" was designed to fool people in to thinking that it was an internal call from another branch of the same organisation. I have no idea if this is true, it's probably completely apocryphal, but it's a nice hack if it's true.

That was what I thought when I read the homepage. Sounds like a Pizza Hut branch.
