Important new OSY upgrades

Jeremy Reimer

Well, now that the weekend is drawing to a close, it's time to celebrate the various upgrades I have finished for OSY.

1.  Polls!  Yes, as you all know, we can do polls now.  Up to ten options, instant views of poll results, it's all in there.

2.  Each message is now in its own table.  This prevents big, wide posts from fux0ring up the entire thread.  This upgrade took Infopop literally years to do, for me it took about an hour.  Of course I'm not a professional.

3.  <pre> tags fixed, see point 2.  

4.  Dropdown menu now preserves Pegasus3d.com frames.

5.  MANY MANY updates to the MAIN OSY page.  I have added the following:

- "Computers as Starcraft Civilizations" comparison
- New graphs in the "Macintosh Sales Figures" area
- New screenshots in the Mac screenshots section (the System 7.5.3 one was actually captured on my own PC running the Baselisk II emulator.. schweet!)
- Complete history of Linux added
- Linux vs Windows server marketshare page added
- Linux screenshots section added
- Complete (really) Windows history added
- Windows screenshots section added: features Windows 1, 2, 3, and 95

Go check these out NOW NOW NOW, they are really good.  More stuff to come!

A banner ad pops up on Pegasus3d?

Do you know about this Jeremy?

nevermind, the banner ad was from a linked site.

Yeah, there ain't no way a banner ad can pop up on pegasus3d, because the entire site runs from my computer, and I would have to deliberately add a link for that to happen.  Which I will never, ever do.  

I HATE popups.  I think someone should firebomb the X-10 camera factory, and then nuke the "Casino On Net" servers from orbit.  Only way to be sure.

The sad thing is, I'm quite tempted to get an X-10 camera.  They look pretty nifty.

I might break into my school and install some into the shower room there.  unf unf.

Bah, I work for a security company, we make far cooler cameras than that, and I get to take them home to play with them if I want.

We even do covert cams... inside exit signs, smoke alarms, whatever you want...

I've only had a chance to look at the Windows pix; not enough time to check out everything at the moment, as I must build some computers tonight.  I do indeed intend to look at your new additions, of course!

Daaaaaaammmn right. I do almost like the "dock-like" nature of win 1's icons though. Not a completely shitty idea.

Any chance you could host the Tanenbaum vs Torvalds debates, JR? I do so enjoy the parts where Torvalds gets schooled.

FFnet is fucking PLAGUED by popups. So much so that they offer a free ad-blocker now. Needless to say it's so damn enabled.

Dude, it's in there already!

Click on "Linux History" in OSY and then scroll down or click to the "Confrontation and Development" section... there's a link to the complete thread.

EDIT: Just realized that, for some reason, the link was gone.  I've put it back in.
