Slashdot Mirror
Tesla Special on PBS
Halvy writes "Nicola Tesla was one of those men involved with experiments with electricity and radio waves that the goverment 'feared' so much that they still keep much of his work and ideas from the public.
PBS is to broadcast a show on him this April. Goto
pbs.org/tesla/ for local times and listing. It should be interesting to see what kind of tid-bits PBS came up with, considering that there is so little available about him, which just adds to his cult-like admiration in the scientific and tech fields."
Thanks for the info. It is showing on my local station on April 6 at 4am. I am going to make every effort to -- wait -- crap!

...appear to be much better at predicting what jokes other slashdotters will post than they are at actually coming up with jokes.
I'm curious what the ratio is of actual jokes to people who post "I can just see the xxxxxx jokes coming in now!" Or, "Here come the underpants gnome jokes." or "I wonder how long before someone corrects them on their usage of 'begs the question'?"
Slashdot should open up a psychic hotline with all the soothsayers around here.
You must be new here. Welcome.

Yeah but have you heard about the Clippy Chip? Word is that Bill Gates has millions of them stashed away in his Mt. Reinier bunker, just waiting for the first commerical human-brain interfaces...
