Tesla was a kewl mo-fo.  Paleotech 02: The Man Who Built Tomorrow. He was a bona fide genius and self-avowed benefactor of humanity, who gave away one of the single most important inventions ever patented so it could be developed for our benefit. He was a practical mystic who harbored the oddest imaginable ideas about the energy of thought, life forces, and the propagation of electrical energy. He was an inspired theorist who imagined the most awesome machines, and a skilled mechanic who made them real and tamed them with his own hands. When Nikola Tesla died in 1943 he left behind an enduring legacy, a haunting list of unfulfilled dreams, and a vast enigma. [kuro5hin.org]

Heh.  How to Suck Less. Over the course of the past several months, it has come to my attention that the vast majority of you people suck. Most people suck, don’t get me wrong, I was just hoping kuro5hin would be exempt from the suck until, at the very least, the real world suck saturation slowed somewhat. Now, unfortunately, I have to deal with your suck on a day to day basis, and it’s pissing the unsucky people off. This is an obviously incomplete guide to sucking less, but it should be enough to get you started. [kuro5hin.org]
