Matthew Inman over at The Oatmeal announced a documentary about Nikola Tesla called Tower to the People.
You may recall that Inman started a crowd funding campaign to save Tesla's Lab. Joseph Sikorski, who donated $33,000 back in 2012, directed the film. The movie is finished, but he's seeking funds to get it distributed and raise awareness about Nikola Tesla and their science center. If you want to support the film, please back the project or share this image.
For more background on Nikola Tesla, check out this entertaining and informative Ted talk.

Among my reasons for disliking javascript so is not JS itself but that it is commonly implemented incorrectly, for example a hyperlink implemented in javascript does not always do all the same things that a link will do when implemented purely in HTML.
In this case Soylent's Reply button javascript does not permit me to post a reply in a new tab.
If I open a contextual menu by clicking a javascript link, I'd like the resulting menu to have the same items, as well as for those items to perform the same function as a contextual menu resulting from an HTML link - even if I don't use any of them. To open a contextual menu that is dramatically different from what I expect is quite jarring mentally.
Thanks for letting me clear all that up.

There is also a hidden input field for sid (whatever that is).

Sorry to reply to myself. The reason why right click doesn't bring up the normal context menu is because the Reply button is a form element (only a single part of a form) and not a hyperlink at all.
The Reply button at the very bottom of the page is however an actual hyperlink with a context menu. You can use that for now on instead of the top Reply button. Not sure why there are two different styles of the same button on the same page?

Also the "Reply to this" buttons on the bottom of comments are actually links.
Of course the real question is why browsers don't allow buttons to open in a new tab using middle-click.
