I've had that after a repair (2007 MBP logic board replacement). Facetime refused to work without a serial number.

For rendered images, you don't need to expose different levels, as a single render done in 32 bit floating point usually contains enough information to cover the visible dynamic range (and beyond). The improvement in Blender 2.79 is th

Fortunately, this is being addressed in software updates. Unfortunately, people who own older devices are left with the vulnerability forever. The iPhone 4S alone sold ~60 million units (according to Wikipedia) and did not (and most likely

I hold the opinion that formatting should not be a part of source code, I should rather be held in a separate style sheet. Source code should then contain only logic. Tha way I can set my editor to tabs, my coworker can set it to spaces and

I was expecting an article about DPI (as in raster printing dots), but it ended up being about PPI (as in screen pixels). DPI in print is something I see many get wrong, and most don't understand the difference between DPI, LPI and PPI

Oh, I love things like that. I wrote a Photoshop file format plugin to load/save wave files a long time ago to manipulate audio files with image filters. Haven't updated it since, so it's still Mac OS 9 only. http:/&#x2

That metric only applies under the assumption that all land can be used equally to feed livestock or for crops. However, humans don't eat grass, and some land cannot be used to grow vegetables on. There, grazing livestock is one of the

Nuclear waste "recycling" is a bit of a misnomer. If you read the article, the fuel rods, and that is the only part that is being "recycled", is just a small part of the contaminated material that needs to be handled. Yo

If you want to learn about state of the art rendering, check out pbrt.org. Even without the book, the source code contains a wealth of information and was written for teaching.

Typically, it's not using photons but the other way round, paths are started from the camera primarily. The noise stems from the simple fact that those renderers try to solve an infinte dimensional integral (all light reflected by all

You're right, that's the simple and valuable one-sentence advise for anyone starting a business in Germany, and I can only repeat it: get a tax advisor. Trust me, it'll pay for itself.

This is a joke, albeit with many web pages I get the suspicion that they'd indeed be better off serving a PNG or PDF file instead. Not to mention that PNG renders much, much faster than javascript orgies.
