I always wondered why 3D points in OpenGL, Direct3D and in general computer graphics were always represented as (x,y,z,w) (i.e. why do we use four dimensions to represent a 3D point, whatâs the w for?). This representation of coordinates with the extra dimension is know as homogeneous coordinates.

Avoid Stripping the Threads. The plumbing fittings are typically wide bolts. Inside each fitting are threads that screw on to the pipes to make a tight fitting. If you tighten the fittings too much, you run the risk of stripping these threads. Like any type of screw or bolt, if you strip a thread, you will find that it is harder to loosen the fitting as well as to turn it.
