I've noticed that too. The trend of right wing gun activists to support increased survalence. It's an odd issue that seems to draw support from both political parties. President Obama has made his stance on privacy and survalen

Gun ownership is less about protecting individuals from other individuals, and more about protecting our society from governments that want to oppress it. You could make the argument that no such power exists today, but that's besides

People fear terrorists because the government and news media tell them they should. There are lots of scary things in the world. Heart disease, cancer, car crashes to name a few. 610,000 people died from heart disease in America last yea

Can anyone say what the security implications of this are? Intuitively, it would seem the less 'random' primes appear to be, the easier it would be to factor the composite of two prime numbers.

He scans his teeth, animates how he wants them to move in blender, and then 3D prints each frame. That is absolutely brilliant.

I would love a section on anti-aliasing. It seems to be the big thing missing.

I wonder if this could be extended beyond pixel art by rendering it with webgl.

The title should read: "Thumbprint thing may be useless for authentication". There are other uses for it outside of security. I have a cydia tweak on my phone that will open different apps based on which finger I press to the ho

The problem text based interfaces solve is a lack of UI standardization. In a desktop environment a command line can be superior to some designer's attempt to express herself through a fancy GUI. However, key strokes on mobile are MUC

I believe VR is here to stay. My question is will it have legitimate value outside of gaming. There's nothing I can do with VR that I can't do with my dual monitor setup. I could technically I could write code on my iPhone. Th

The only reason I mentioned Photoshop and Illustater is because they're easy things to put on a resume. "Knowledge of design principles" is a little more amorphous.

It very much depends on the gig, but I would add another item to the list: Show a basic understanding of UX design. Companies need people who can mediate between designers and programmers. While demonstrating an understanding of Photosho

I'm always reading articles about how we need more 'programming' classes in high schools. I think what we really need is more education centered around encryption. We can't expect to have intelligent discussions on the

I always get tripped up on multiples of 13. I wonder why that is.

I always get excited when I start reading about IPv6. I was excited last year too. And the year before that. I guess I'll just keep waiting.

I'd love to see this with water colors instead of coffee. Composite images made from multiple passes would be cool too.

I will admit it's pretty subjective. I will also be the first to admit Blender takes a lot of getting used to. But as someone who has used both Maya and Blender extensively, I can confidently say I much prefer Blender for most modeli

"They have suggested that the safeguards of iOS 7 were good enough and that we should simply go back to the security standards of 2013." This is interesting. Perhaps instead of requesting a custom version of iOS with specific v

Open source 3D software has made massive leaps forward in recent years. Specifically, the 3D modeling tools in Blender are on par with, if not better than, anything Maya or 3ds Max has to offer. I don't see SaaS working out for Autod

The article seems to suggest the problem of youth unemployment does not stem from a lack of education. Rather, it's a lack of suitable jobs for educated young people. The solution then would be to create an environment where startups

It's actually kind of surprising this is the first occurrence of ransomware on Apple's platform. It seems Macs are still, at least to some degree, protected by security through obscurity.

This is very troubling to read. I can understand that tampering with an automobile might pose safety concerns. I can also understand that Tesla is trying to protect its brand. That being said, the fact that Tesla is monitoring individual
