what you say is complete and correct for "natural" photographs.
However, for vector like work (e.g. text, lines, grads) CMYK (which is what the presses finally use) has interesting wrinkles with regards to choke, bleed and spread, which simply cannot be expressed in RGB.
For this reason "native" CMYK is most certainly important in vector tools (e.g. freehand, illustrator, inkscape) and fairly important in raster tools.
That could extend the auction indefinitely. How about this variation on your idea:
The end of the auction is at the stated time, but with a plus or minus 5 minute "random window". This would massively reduce the scope for effective sniping. Sniping is only effective because you KNOW when the last coupla' second is.
Robert Love gave a (fairly detailed and technical) talk on it at while back, with some suggestions for combating it on the Linux desktop, which I recommend to anyone who is interested. It's about 126MB, Ogg format.
And thus is "rich, multimedia web content" revealed in all its dreadfullness.
A textual transcription would be better; a properly thought out and written up document better still; diagrams would help. All nicely achievably in HTML 1.0, back in the day. 126Mb. Geez.
It's also probably the only country where it's perfectly normal to pick up your date on a bike.
I love it. In far too many countries (and I include specifically the UK and USA) your percieved status is almost solely defined by the cost of your car.
And elsewhere in "big boys" image processing land. Herewith from the Povary manual
Most of these formats output 24 bits per pixel with 8 bits for each of red, green and blue data. PNG and PPM allow you to optionally specify the output bit depth from 5 to 16 bits for each of the red, green, and blue colors, giving from 15 to 48 bits of color information per pixel. The default output depth for all formats is 8 bits/color (16 million possible colors), but this may be changed for PNG and PPM format files by setting Bits_Per_Color=n or by specifying +FNn or +FPn, where n is the desired bit depth.
and
In addition to support for variable bit-depths, alpha channel, and grayscale formats, PNG files also store the Display_Gamma value so the image displays properly on all systems (see section "Display Hardware Settings"). The hf_gray_16 global setting, as described in section "HF_Gray_16" will also affect the type of data written to the output file.

The application to spam filtering is trivial. Simply take a document set (your inbox for a month), identify the spam set (manually) and the algorithm will generate term weightings for you.
Then apply these term weightings to previous unclassified records (emails) and BINGO!
Both the study and article are about two weeks old, but an interesting read nonetheless.
I know everything's running at "internet speed" these days (insert obligatory dot.bomb snipe here), but is there really an assumption that a 2 week old report is inherently uninteresting?

This may well apply in the narrow field of programming, sysadmin, but in the real world of people doing real work it's different.
To an engineer designing a V12 enghine in a CAD package, an architect visualising a building in its environment, creating a restaurant menu (wanna' use TeX for that?) - the conceptual distance between the computer model and the real thing is greatly reduced by using a GUI, making them more productive.
This one doesn't appear in a lot of older comp sci books, because the UK kept it secret for a long (very long) time. But it predates ENIAC. Now we're back to definitions of "computer". Make it wide enough, and Bababage wins (by a healthy margin)

I'm not enough of a scientist/mathematician to know the answer, but this sounds very similar to "wavefront coding" from the U. of Colorado.
This is already being used commercially, and the company was formed in 1996 - so I assume the research substantially pre-dated that.

The experimental archeology field (AKA reenactors) is mainly amateur, but there are some deep, deep experts there.
In general, the amateurs are likely to be more highly skilled than the professionals in any field where there's no income to be earned (duh!).

the overwhelming simplicity to FORTRAN leads to simple-minded implementations
