All gardens are walled. That's why they remain gardens - so they can be maintained, controlled, kept safe. Else they become a jungle.

And with Obama coming into office...I don't think the system in place will be very friendly to "the rich"..who already pay a disproportionate amount of the US tax.
Well, the whole point of the taxation system is contribution to the greater public good according to one's capacity. So, the rich better be paying a disproportionate amount of tax to the system/ country that allowed them the opportunities to get rich and the safety & security to keep their riches. Otherwise, there's something fundamentally unjust in the entire process.
A 3D Curve Sketching System For Tablets 72
dominique_cimafranca writes "The Dynamic Graphics Project of the University of Toronto has released a pretty nifty 3D curve sketching system. Apart from the large drawing area, the tablet software looks very intuitive to artists. From the site: 'The system coherently integrates existing techniques of sketch-based interaction with a number of novel and enhanced features. Novel contributions of the system include automatic view rotation to improve curve sketchability, an axis widget for sketch surface selection, and implicitly inferred changes between sketching techniques. We also improve on a number of existing ideas such as a virtual sketchbook, simplified 2D and 3D view navigation, multi-stroke NURBS curve creation, and a cohesive gesture vocabulary.'"
