Google pays homage to the Greatest Communications expert Samuel Morse by posting the term ‘Google’ in morse code on 27th April, 2009.
Morse code is a type of character encoding that transmits telegraphic information using rhythm. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as “dots” and “dashes” or “dits” and “dahs”. The speed of Morse code is measured in words per minute (WPM) or characters per minute, while fixed-length data forms of telecommunication transmission are usually measured in baud or bps.

“Describing the Irish as a teeming sea of ignorant, dirty, overly fertile drunks, he ran for office on a platform of keeping America ‘pure.’”
“1836 saw his first of two campaigns to become Mayor of New York City. He ran for, and was apparently a fairly rabid spokesperson for, the Nativist party. This was a group of fairly despicable human beings. A bunch of racist, pro-slavery assholes, who were dead set against immigrants, especially the Jewish and the Irish. Morse himself appeared to especially hate Catholics. His campaign didn’t go all that well, which is likely a good thing. He only managed to get 1,550 votes the first time, and garnered a mere 100 the second time he ran, in 1841.”
He “hated” American Catholics and “would have denied citizenship to the foreign born (especially the Irish) and he wrote pamphlets abusing those who would abolish slavery”.
That’s right. He loved slavery and enslaving black people. He said it was “not a sin” in Christianity, and that slave owners were doing so for the “wisest purposes, benevolent and disciplinary”.
Sounds a bit like a 19th century version of the White Supremacists, only wearing smarter clothes and without the skinheads. He donated loads of money to these idiots.
So much for Google’s “Don’t be evil”.

He didn’t invent the telegraph anyway. And the “Morse” code used these days is not the same code that Morse invented. It is only called “Morse” code because it is based on it.
