Pff, you liked it!

Besides, don't want to pave over all our beer and bars too, now would we.

Re: Cool Stuff

haha, fair enough. Maybe they could just make a huge roof out of CDs. Keep the rain out.

Re: Cool Stuff

Got a few links....

1. 3d scene reconstruction using a Kinect. Basically, a project using a Kinect to build a 3d computer representation of a 3d scene. Freaking cool stuff.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/micr ... ime-3d-re/

2. Craziest combat outifts
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/08 ... t-outfits/

3. From #2, a description of how a bomb suit works.
http://dvice.com/archives/2010/03/hurt-locker-sui.php


	Quote: How a Bomb Kills You The "EOD ensemble," as Borkar calls it, is not simply a body-condom version of a Kevlar vest: "It's a complex composite product consisting of both rigid and soft armor systems." These two fundamental layers are designed to defeat the two main threats in an explosion: the overpressure pulse, or shockwave; and the fragmentation, commonly known as shrapnel. The overpressure wave is actually the more dangerous of the two. A microsecond after a bomb goes off, the explosion compresses the surrounding air and blows it outward in a lightning-fast shockwave that ripples through clothing and literally flattens internal organs. Guy Pearce's character experiences it firsthand at the end of The Hurt Locker's tense opening sequence:

4. Mario racers built with a 3d printer.
Gotta love 3d printers.

Re: Cool Stuff

I was torn whether to put this in funny stuff or cool stuff.

The Polynesian island of Niue is issuing currency with star wars figures on it. Freaking awesome. the thought is to garner attention and draw tourism. I want!

Re: Cool Stuff

While I'm all for the idea, the coins look kinda cheap.

Like a toy coin.

Re: Cool Stuff

Those are renders. :roll:

And the ones that come in the cases are an ounce of actual silver each.

Article on Wired that came out today. More and better pics as well as more info. Unfortunately they're being minted in New Zealand and the cost of shipping the not-pure-silver ones is almost as much as the coin costs.

Re: Cool Stuff

Render or not, the pictures still look pretty shitty.

Only the death star one looks good (on the new links you posted). Still, fun idea indeed.

Re: Cool Stuff

The singer annoyed me to no end, but the message was pretty fun. Way too long, though.

Re: Cool Stuff

Old footage from Belgian police attack dogs. I don't think I want to have these rabid monsters on my back or arm anytime soon.

Re: the screaming...I don't think the targets are actually in a ton of pain, but they scream to simulate real-life situations (so the dogs won't scare or be surprised when they have a dude yelling his lungs out)

Re: Cool Stuff

Vicious things, somewhere in the middle one of the dogs bites the master. There is however another aspect to using dogs. Apparently being attacked by a wild animal ranks very high in phobia list and most people who might not be afraid of getting shot might completely shut down in the face of such pure aggressive assault. Others just bust a cap in that puppy

Re: Cool Stuff

lol, very amusing. Those dogs did not want to stop.

BTW, i think the guys were screaming because they're Belgian. :roll:
