You are right - QTVR does let you use any camera. This includes fisheye lenses. The cubic format gives a full 360x180 field of view. This was one of the applications of Helmut's tools. It means that you can remap fisheye images to an equirectangular imagfe suitable for turning into QTVR.
I was looking at rendering some 360 degree panoramas but it seems the Quicktime VR authoring tools only work on Macs
Look at the Apple sample code site they have source code for all kinds of that stuff. Though, the fact that QuickTime isn't available for Linux maay be a problem...
One of the great things that Prof Dersch made, was a java applet that played quicktime VR on any system, without QuickTime installed. It was (and is) the only way to view QTVR on linux.
AFAIK, it was distributing differnt versions in different countries. Perhaps a better example would be the RSA thingie - if you were in the US you were supposed to download the patent-free version. Helmut is suggesting that he will keep the fisheye functions in a separate library, only to be downloaded by peopel in countries with sane patent laws.
Only if they are totally dumb. What if, perhaps, the DDos packets were spoofed? . Just what you need - a system that lets script kiddies insert rules into YOUR firewall to block arbitrary IPs. By spoofing selected web proxies, mailservers, nameservers, upstream routers, a script kiddie could bring a server to its knees far more efficiently than through DDoS alone. Those sort of rules are a Bad Idea.
No, if you look at the right-hand monitor in the picture, you can see they're running OS X. It has the default desktop picture, and you can see the dock at the bottom.
Have you been to Europe? Spend half an hour in a bar or busy street in Britain and that number doesnt seem far out. Personally I think what they are doing is great. Please, someone stop these lame abortions of tunes.
Yes, a lot like Michael Moore. Did you notice the end of the credits of his old show? BBC co-production, broadcast in the UK on the same day. You were enjoying a show financed by UK licence payers.
In fact, Apple had to licence the trademark from Apple Records (you know, famous band. load of scousers. the name escapes me). If you look at the Apple Legal site, you see specific exclusions for music-related items. I guess there's no calling it Apple iTunes then?
I'd say it was an evens chance that the US delibarately bombed the embassy because they had intelligence that Serbia was in the process of selling bits of the Stealth shot down a few days earlier to the Chinese. "Oh no! Sorry! We had inaccurate maps."
The Chinese rarely allow their pilots to train far out to sea, because of the fear of them defecting. This is one of the reasons that China probably could not win a conventional war with Taiwan, even without the US selling Taipei the Aegis battle-management systems.
The P-3 may be a patrol plane, but the EP-3E is a spy plane. It is an ELINT, SIGINT, COMINT (ELectronic/SIGnals/COMms INTelligence) plane, and the crew included intelligence officers to analyse the data that they received.
I don't know how related this is to the mosaic project, but it sound a lot like ACORN (A Classification Of Residential Neighbourhoods). Type your UK postcode in here, and be scared by how much they know you. As a UK postcode covers around 10 addresses, its pretty specific.
Are you referring to the BBC? If so, hen yes you do need a TV licence for tuner cards, but the price is ~£105 per year per household, not per tuner. That also covers you for portables outside of the home.
Well, choose your codec then. Quicktime isnt a codec - you don't have to stream.mov . The issue seems to be that there is no _Sorenson_ client for n*x. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you could find a codec that darwin SS does support that has a n*x client.
Oh come on! Every time anyone mentions OSX and microsoft, someone will pipe up with the old "a port for linux will be soon!!!". The fact is, the carbon API that 90-odd% of OSX apps use is just a tidied-up classic macos API. Even the nextstep-based cocoa relies heavily on quartz and other proprietary features. It'll be hardly easier to port from osx that it was from os9. However, the third api set for osx is Java, and that's another kettle of fish entirely.
IIRC, this conract expired on 1st Jan 2001. I think it was being considered that the mozilla timetable would allow N6 final to be released in time for it to be the new heart of AOL.
You're not going to start with that crap again. MacOS 9 allows any app that needs SMP to use both processors just fine. Most apps that need that speed, such as photoshop, video editors, and mp3 encoders, take full advantage of both processors. Next you'll be going on about fucking one-button mice. Read the story yesterday.

No i did mean persecuting. They didn't prosecute Helmut - they just threatened him.

So, does Dom Joly have to pay for the use of Nokia tune?
87.6% of statistics are made up on the spot anyway.

Find me both of the TV owners in the UK who NEVER watch the BBC, and we can organise a protest.

>is it fair to say that the far-right nazi's sucked ass and therefore conservatives are all evil?
Well, yes actually.

This looks like poetic justice to me. All credit to DirecTV.

type G FIND . That should switch you to the finder. That trick can also break you out of an app freeze if the 3 finger salute fails.

Apple has never made a yellow (lemon?) iMac. It was the strawberry ones that no-one wanted. They're selling them as aquariums now.
