Douglas Engelbart's HyperScope 1.0 Launched

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the father-of-us-all dept.

ReadWriteWeb writes, "HyperScope 1.0 is a new Web app based on Douglas Engelbart's 1968 NLS/Augment (oNLine System). Engelbart and team have been working on Hyperscope since March of this year in a project funded by the National Science Foundation. Its aim is to rebuild portions of Engelbart's NLS, on the Web, using current Web technologies such as Ajax and DHTML. In effect it gives an advanced browsing experience, including classic hypertext features like indirect links and transclusions of remote pieces of other documents. HyperScope has been completely built with open source JavaScript toolkit Dojo — meaning that everything is done on the client-side."

    Where on earth did you get the stoopid idea that microsoft came up with page formatting?? Haven't you ever seen a textbook printed before 1980? Don't you know that microsoft didn't invent the web browser?? Did you crawl out from under a rock somewhere in redmond? Why don't you pull your head out of bill's ass for a sec, HTML was not invented for basic information transfer. That was what you call the "internet" upon which the "web" runs. HTML is an ADVANCED textual formatting system, you dope! EVERYONE POINT AND LAUGH AT THE STUPID IDIOT!!!
