Hey my good twin city nerds and nerdets and technoturds, there is a special on public tv at 9:00pm about the famous inventor Tesla. Sorry, kinda late, but just noticed it myself. I think he is the true author of Linux, not Linus as is commonly believed. Tesla: Master of Lightning Thursday, December 2 at 9PM Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), was one of the greatest inventors of the 20th century, with over 700 worldwide patents to his name. He was a visionary genius whose radical ideas created the technology that connects the world with power and information. Controversial and misunderstood, his incredible story is finally being brought to the screen. Tesla's most famous invention is his system of AC power generation and transmission that is used universally today. He also invented the tesla coil to create high-frequency electricity. This led to the creation of neon and fluorescent lighting, radio transmission, remote control, and hundreds of other devices that are now an essential part of our everyday lives. The documentary finally sets the record straight on Tesla's inventions and accomplishments. Edison and Marconi are frequently credited for the invention of AC power transmission and radio. The program demonstrates that this is not the case. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
