Ironically, I feel like PizzaHut is now the most outdated of the pizza chains when it comes to web technology. I've been working on a fun project where I need to order pizza gift cards, and PizzaHut is the only chain that doesn't integrate with any gift card APIs.

Also, Domino's is way ahead of them when it comes to actually ordering pizzas online. Has anyone seen the Domino's pizza delivery tracker? It's awesome. It actually makes delivery feel faster by breaking it into steps.

Oh man... I'm having flashbacks to how badly that tag got abused... Who needs HTML? Just create the layout in photoshop, export the whole thing to a flat image, and map all the links...

At least it is not as bad as the older server side image maps.

I've missed NCSA Mosaic so much. What a flashback! But do you guys remember Trumpet Winsock?

Yeah, we're definitely old. I was working my first developer gig at a company that had a commercial TCP/IP stack for Win 3.1+. Trumpet came up all the time especially from customers that were trying to get a better deal. Sort of a tangent but I still remember building a SOCKS client on top of Winsock using undocumented Windows APIs. It was great that you could simply ask Windows to alias your code segment register to…

Which also reminds me that MS made the decision to go to a flat address space when designing OS/2 2.0 and "NT OS/2" in the late 1980s, ignoring the Morris worm.

No doubt about that!

It's a shame they're miles ahead of the other chains in actually putting lots of jalapenos on the goddamn pizzas when I ask for extra jalapenos, though!

Lolwat? Care to elaborate?

I believe you interpreted this as "Pizza Hut ran Red Hat" as in "Pizza Hut owned Red Hat", but the poster meant it as "Pizza Hat ran Red Hat [Linux?] (on their computers)."

Thank you. I really did think that and even start to read the history of Red Hat...
