CERN Launches Line Mode Browser Emulator 92
itwbennett writes "As part of the project to preserve the world's first website and all of the accompanying technology, CERN last week launched a line mode browser emulator. To make the browser experience authentic, the developers recreated how terminals would draw one character at a time by covering the page in black and then revealing each character by erasing a character-sized rectangle from that cover, one-by-one, line-by-line. They also recreated the sound of typing on older keyboards, specifically an IBM RS/6000 keyboard, by using HTML5 audio elements."

Next on the list: Emulate oldest terminal browser, drink single malt, fire paladium at each other w/accelerator for fun cause there is no more science left!? #waste
There's plenty of science left. Please do the following (in this order):
1) Cure my goddamn jock itch.
2) Give the guy in the next cube some kind of space age denture glue so he stops making all those disgusting sounds with his dentures.
3) Make me a pill that will give me the ability to tell that cute girl in accounts that I'm really sorry about what happened after the company barbecue last month.
Get back to work, boys!
