In the year 2000, CareerTrack released this CD-ROM that made the bold claim of letting you know how to find ANYTHING on the internet. Well then, we have just got to see if it's true.

Amen. We have the Wayback Machine, but it can only do so much for us with just how much content there was back then. Sadly we can't use it to play old flash games from our childhood that no longer exist today, and even some old websites just don't load. If only someone could bring back such a thing...

There's a whole community dedicated to preserving old flash games and I love them for it. They managed to save a favourite of mine, Candystand's "Mini Golf Classics"! I played the CremeSavers Mini Golf game so much on the old Shockwave website, I was so happy to see someone preserved it. I see games as little pieces of art, and although most games will probably be preserved forever through Steam downloads and abandonware archives, I feel like flash and other web games don't have that kind of guarantee, and it makes me sad to think that some have been lost to time and more will be in the future. I have been thinking of starting a KZfaq series playing through as many as I can so I can do my part to preserve them if they ever disappear one day.

+Paul Gascoigne: "Wow. Did I see something about Windows 2000? I'm only on Windows 10... That's like one thousand nine hundred and ninety more than me!" ==Actually, Windows 2000 came out before Windows 10. Ever since Windows 95, Microsoft was naming their OS after the year it was released, so you had: Win 95 OSR1, Win 95 OSR2, Win 98, Win 98 Second Edition, Win ME and Win ME was the last in the line of the Win 95 line. Win 2000 followed Win NT 4.0. So, Microsoft stopped with naming their OS after the year. Then you had Win XP, Win Vista. Win XP was I think Win 6.1 and Vista was Win 6.2. Microsoft stopped with that naming convention and returned to versions. Win 7, Win 8 and 8.1 and 10.

You may be interested that all those headlines about a "jet crash" are alluding to Alaska Airlines Flight 261; in this flight the jet entered a dive, and in an attempt to correct it the pilots inverted the aircraft, a scenario that the film "Flight" took inspiration from. Unfortunately, though, the real-life accident saw the deaths of all those aboard, versus the 6 that died in the film.
@alphamone
@alphamone 5 жыл бұрын
261 was never going to recover. A flight critical part of the vertical stabilizer failed in-flight (this failure is also what caused the dive). This was because the airline management extended the regular maintenance of that part beyond what the manufacturer recommended as that TOTAL LIFESPAN of the part.

I was going to ask if you're joking, but with the number of comments saying this is news to them, I assume there are genuinely people who like keyboard shortcuts, but still don't know about this. Okay, other useful shortcuts: - Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn will cycle through browser tabs. - Ctrl + 1, 2, etc. will take you straight to a tab (9 will take you to the last tab) - Ctrl + F5 forces a refresh of the page and doesn't use cached data - Alt + Home takes you to your home page - Ctrl + T opens a new tab - Ctrl + W closes a tab (Ctrl + Shift + W closes all tabs) - Ctrl + shift + T re-opens the most recently closed tab And some mouse shortcuts for good measure: - Middle-click a link to open it in a new tab. - Middle-click on a tab to close it. - Shift + left-click a link to open it in a new window.

An interesting thing to note about late 90s/early 2000s Internet: Yahoo and MSN didn't always have the most up to date news stories on their websites. You legitimately had to go to the source, be it CNN, or BBC, or CBS news, or whatever.

This is something pretty interesting because of the nature in which it was preserved. Archived websites are interesting enough as it is, but there is something about seeing all of these old sites preserved in video that makes it much more interesting. You're not just looking at a time capsule, you're looking at the web frozen in time. These are videos that were recorded when these sites were new, and though the originals now only exist in archives, this feels like looking at the originals thru a portal in time, actually being able to see through the exact eyes of someone who was there more than 18 years ago. Thanks for the video, Clint, this was a real interesting find :)

Edit: So out of curiosity I Googled Fred Lane, the NFL player that random headline mentions, and apparently he was shot and killed by his wife in July 2000, which has to have been just months after this software came out, if he wasn't already dead by the time it was released. So that was kind of depressing.

That was both hilarious and fascinating. I think the most surprisings aspects of it for me were: (1) It's pretty clear that they recorded this on someone's REAL workstation rather than a clean install, and (2) Despite sounding like a ridiculously useless product, it was very professional, and, from what we saw, actually quite pleasant to watch. Remembering how much more difficult "the Web" was to use back then (I graduated high school in 2000), I can easily see a lot of people, especially non-techies, learning a lot from this at the time. At least they had Google by then. Having first used "web portal" search functions around 1995 or so, I can soundly say that all "web search" was garbage before Google. Switching to Google when it came out was like a breath of fresh air. Such a simple site, you didn't have to wait for your (dial-up) connection to load all the categories, headlines, stock tickers, and other junk when you KNEW you wanted to search for something. And, when you did search, it actually managed to find what you were looking for in some of the early pages of results! No more finding the One Thing You Wanted on the fourteenth page of Yahoo / Hotbot / Altavista / whatever results!
