The Cutting Edge in Library Programming Is Medieval Fencing

We librarians must get creative in order to draw patrons to us and make our services relevant to current needs. And what do people need? To study the blade. The steel calls to our souls.

The public library system of Durham County, North Carolina wants to prepare patrons for the future. That's the clear message in its decision to provide a live demonstration of historical European martial arts conducted by the Triangle Sword Club.

Go and prepare accordingly. For now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to the library for help.

This doesn't seem like it would be too hard. I would think anyone that took a computer science course in computer graphics should be able to do this. I am surprised it took them this long

This could get scary. It's becomming way to easy to be able to steal stuff now.

Just think about it. All a thief would have to do is take a photo of someones keys while they are not looking and they have instant access to that persons house or car...scary.

Kind of pointless when a simple bump key can do the job in less than a second then having to go out take a picture, make the key then go though the door.

As a locksmith I used to make keys from photocopies or pictures fairly often. The spacing between cuts is a given, and there are only a handful of different possible cut depths (between 3 and 6 for cars and between 7 and 9 for houses).
The fact of the matter is that if you are buying a cheap lock and expecting it to protect you adequately, you're wrong.
