I've seen at least the approach of using 2 webcams pretty much as early as the first webcams existed.

Sadly no records easily found, but here's one from 2004 (well post-webcam-introduction-era, of course:

Note that there's one major problem with using 2 separate cameras; getting them to use the same settings. One might whitebalance/expose/etc. one way, the other another way, and poof... there goes the illusion.

...there's a good 3-D photo tutorial here for those of you who want to know how the 3D films will work.

There's a great picture of a corpse plant here. It's in 3D, so you'll need red/cyan glasses to view it. (Image was processed with the Callipygian 3D software that was featured on TechTV.

The sandboxes are there for users to PLAY IN and test Wiki commands. Nobody is harmed with some silly links in there. The next person in wipes them out (usually). Also most sites clean their sand daily.

I can't argue with the performance I'm seeing from C#/.NET apps. I used to be a C++ DIEHARD but I completely switched to C#/.NET when and where possible.

A portable version of the library would be great! And it's so entrenched now that even if Microsoft adds to the API, the current API will still have to be supported for many years to come.

Sadly, the cross-platform promise of Java, especially for GUI desktop applications, was never realized. And I've rarely seem Java apps that didn't look like 30 year old SunOs applications. Slow and ugly.

The anaglyphs in the article are poorly made.

Task manager reports that there are 2.6GB of memory free. No other application has trouble starting. But iTunes says there's not enough memory!

My guess: it's a signed/unsigned problem with measuring the amount of ram: mor than 2GB and it's going negative.

I'm also a bit worried about the server it puts up if you enable sharing. I suspect that the port (3389 IIRC) will start getting portscanned a lot. Good thing my firewall blocks it.

Also, chek out their 3D Challah!

You can view the anaglyph images with the glasses you got from "Spy Kids 3D"

Absolutly! And employers should be very wary about hiring anyone whose resume is loaded up with phony dotcom jobs and titles.

I throw all resumes with "dotcom" jobs on them in the trash. I wish all other employers would, too. That's the only fair way to hire qualified people in silicon valley. Don't reward the people who screwed the economy, and the high-tech industry up.

In this economy, employers get THOUSANDS of resumes for every job posting. Most of course, are garbage dot-com resumes or from other unqualified individuals. It's nearly impossible for a good resume to break through the signal-to-noise ratio.

And high-quality companies will not have to resort to advertising jobs in this economy, except to fulfill some "equal opportunity" requirement, showing that all new jobs are publically posted.

My advice: Stay away from Monster and other job boards. Get friends who are working at the companies you're interested in to submit your resume for you. If you have no contacts in a particular company, hand deliver your resume, or send it US mail. At least, your resume will stand out this way.

For example, I saw this interesting article a few days ago that urged people not to hire anyone with a dotcom job on his resume!
