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.

    The reply button isn't actually any JavaScript at all.  It is a standard HTML form.  Web 1.0 stuff.

      <form action="//soylentnews.org/comments.pl#post_comment">
        <!-- blah stuff ->
        <input name="op" value="Reply" class="button" type="submit">
      </form>

    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.
