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."

These kinds of stupid psuedo-science mythologies are bad [..] distract from the real techno-conspiracies out there, [..] the Clipper Chip, [..]
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...
Clippy Chip: "I see your trying to go Offtopic. Would you like a corrective jolt? A distracting thought? A mental image of Natalie Portman?"
