Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Heinrich Rudolf Hertz gets a Google Doodle for his 155 birthday!
|
Google celebrated German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz’s 155th birthday Wednesday by converting its logo into a frequency wave.
You may recognize the name from the unit of measurement — the hertz — which measures cycles per second.
In his brief life (Hertz died at the age of 36), he made important contributions to the study of electromagnetism, confirming the existence of electromagnetic waves through experiment in 1886 while he was a professor at the University of Karlsruhe.
While his discoveries would eventually lead to the inventions of the wireless telegraph, radio and television, Hertz didn’t realize the importance of his work at the time. After an experiment that helped establish the photoelectric effect, he commented that “it’s of no use whatsoever.â€
“This is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right — we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye. But they are there.â€
Hertz died in Bonn, Germany, in 1894 and was buried in Hamburg.
Thirty-six years later, the International Electrotechnical Commission established the hertz as a standard unit.

Neat to what ever that says. How do you make it change colors or create music?

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
