It would be interesting to see how today's super-fancy-html5 javascript-everywhere no-tables Websites look in 14 years with a modern browser.

All the "terrible" techniques you mention actually do the job in a surprisingly time-robust way.

Engineering versus hype.

On the other hand, it's a working site that gets the job done, no matter how embarrassing behind the scenes.

And you can emulate so much software in your browser now, including rare stuff. In your browser - just click a link and play history. https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games

The first movie still holds fairly well as a stand-alone. I feel there's a reason sci-fi creatives get reigned in by management often. Its to avoid sequalitis where movies become info dumping grounds for whatever books the director read recently. Frankly, I feel the series would have been better as a bunch of books instead of movies with a lot of 25 cent words tossed it. I feel embarrassed for the Watchowski's anytime "The Architect" is on-screen.

I'd be willing to bet it will, modern design principles are about separating the content from the style. Many of the techniques used were just workarounds because we didn't have the standards we have now.

In fact I'd say that this sites days (probably years) are numbered. It uses frameset for example. I would imagine that browser developers are going to start pushing for a cleaner underlying HTML/CSS/JS.

Having to support valign attributes in the HTML tags is not something you want to support forever.

I'm not an anime fan, but The Second Renaissance 1 & 2 are excellent.
