Check for Zoomify, but that's Flash-based instead of JavaScript. Easy to use and quick, but jpeg tiles can lead to new artifacts. Using it for photo maps would be nice, but line graphics maps would be ugly.
I've used a Flash-based system called Zoomify to display higher resolution mosaics (up to 50 megapixels, myself). It works well, but since it's all based on jpegs, the tile deconstruction process can introduce more compression artifacts and a little bit of softening. It's worth the space and super-simple to install and use, in my experience.
How about reconstruction and preservation? These tapestries are in terrible condition, compared to when they were completed in the 1400s. Any work that is done on them is done with magnifying glass, tweezers and a well-trained hand. Any reference works should be as clear and detailed as possible. They don't want it to erode any more than it already has, and they had no such detailed records of it in previous ages and conditions.
I was just at that museum to see the tapestries in question. I have a few high-resolution (multiple-image mosaic) photographs of the architectural elements on my Quick Pix Gallery. I also took and stitched images of almost every tapestry in the building, but have not posted them online at this time.
It's a fascinating structure, with excellent pieces for close inspection. I encourage anyone within a couple hours drive of Manhattan to take the trip to see these in person. It's at the north end of Manhattan at Fort Tryon Park (there's also one high-resolution picture in my gallery from the park).
These were in my local Apple store several weeks ago. Nothing new here. And why would anyone really care? If Apple makes a new USB cable accessory, nobody creams their shorts on blogs. Keep the brand lust to the actual hardware?
It says it draws 3.3v 250mA power. It would be an excellent design if it could get its own power needs from the Cat5 cable itself. Just plug a personal key fob into your network, let it dhcp itself, and do whatever else from there.
As it is, it looks like you'd have to provide power to the unit from other means?
Which one of them will be doing all of the crazy sound effects? And what about the crazy gun nut? "Tackleberry!"
That was the worst, worst joke I have ever, ever heard. You should never, never ever say that again. Why would you lampoon the fine, fine students of the Police Academy?
[OT] My high school principal had the same annoying speech habit, and wondered why we all called him Principal Lassard.
But he came to the US and is now subject to US law.
Uh, what law did he break WHILE he was in the jurisdiction of US law? None. I hope you've never done ANYTHING against the laws of ANY country, or you stay within your little cocoon for the rest of your life.
The human body is just designed around a fixed number of atom types and a fixed number of genes. Clearly, we haven't evolved and cannot evolve in successive generations just by mixing these components in different ways.
Over a certain complexity level, emergent behaviors are formed in ways that were not designed. Emergent capabilities don't exceed the theoretical range of capability for the organism, but designing an optimum offspring turns out to be a devilishly difficult task, while genetics methodology often provides a near-optimum from very little initial design.
I frequent other forums where photographers and artists hang out.
It's depressing to see how many people will cough up half a grand on the next release of Photoshop every year or two, even though the new features are very small improvements. They complain constantly about product activation problems, but they don't even consider the idea of using a different product.
And how many photographers and artists heard about the Sklyarov case? Virtually zero. A vanishingly small number of people have even heard about it, nevermind formed an opinion, nevermind see it as a cause for avoiding the company.
Use something else. Anything else. I've purchased no Adobe software in the past five years (except I discarded an OEM bundled thing that came with my camera). Unfortunately, companies like Microsoft and Adobe has reached a critical mass where they're immensely insulated from consumer backlash: consumers with apathy and ignorance far outspends the consumers with objections.
And that's the difference between a politician and a corporation.
When George Bush wants to get a war, a drilling plan, or a social security plan, he simply fights all differences of opinions, evidence to the negative effects, and beats his head against the wall against public opinion until it happens. It's success by fiat.
When Microsoft wants to push WebTV or Palladium or.NET, they push it, they implement it, they sell it... but if there's still resistance after a couple of years, they let it die. They go on to something more productive. They recycle parts of their ideas and refine the rest. They don't keep beating their heads against the wall of negative market.
This was one of my favorite ObC programs from the distant past. Did you notice that the first variables spell MAZE? Did you notice the code is a maze? Did you notice the passages of the maze spell MAZE? A proper ObC entry is not just obfuscated, but is an onion of beautifully expressed multiple messages.
There's another one in which the program is shaped like a sailor's semaphore, and produces stick-figure cartoons of a sailor waving semaphores to spell out a user-supplied message.
There are some who definitely feel the GPL is too restrictive. Look at the BSD license. If you write it, and you *want* to share it, then do so. If you modify it, and you *want* to share it, then do so.
Just as the protecting freedom of speech means protecting speech you hate, protecting an open sharing society means sharing with people who don't want to share it forward. Once you share something, you should not have any control over what the recipient does with it. Sure, somebody might try to sell your code, but that doesn't diminish your ideas, nor does it diminish the ability of others to build and share.
I'm not pushing this concept, I'm just saying that some people definitely feel this way. Any opinion is a valid opinion, even when you don't agree with it.
In many cases, the letter will likely be forwarded to the internal legal department for review, which may spark questions and conversations internally. In many other cases, the letter will likely be found in some rarely-used briefcase several years after the earnest, booth-attending middle-manager has left the company.
Are you sure the Boeing thing was raytracing 350 million polygons? Or just traditional raster pipeline rendering?
See, the reason I ask is, you generally get away from raytracing polygons and raytrace against the actual nurbs or other mathematical surface definitions. That's the point. You don't feed it to simple scan-and-fill raster pipelines.
Hah! You're expecting a corporation to charge a little, charge a little, charge a little, and then STOP?! That's like expecting a toll highway to dismantle the toll booths "once the highway has been paid for."
A job fair for schoolers is one job, one parent. Let some hardware mommy explain the hardware aspects. The poster is asking about demonstrating *his* job: Software Engineering.
Lego Mindstorms is more about the hardware than the software. You want to keep it simple: there is this arm thing, and it can bend in a number of ways, but it's up to YOUR PROGRAM to guide it properly. Focus on the software and how it is the master over a piece of dumb hardware.
Bring a laptop which can demonstrate how computers follow your instructions. Maybe LOGO or some other kid-obvious language.
Demonstrate real-world applicability with a toy robot arm and a poster of a few industrial robot arms, which presumably work the same way.
Without programs, a computer is a doorstop. You know that. Help them know that. The rest is just talking about the incidentals, like whether or not your boss allows hackey-sack near the water cooler.
The NDA contract is between Apple and a second party. Typically, one does not sue or subpoena a third party when the second party is known to breach contract. If the second party is not known, then this is all a fishing expedition or a SLAPP, both of which should be thrown out of court with malice.
Trade secrets are things that are meant to remain secret indefinitely, so as to enjoy a form of protection that is longer-lived than patents. To call product specifications which are released a few weeks or months before they're posted on Apple.com makes a mockery of trade secret protection law.

Just simply combine words from different languages. "Gandalf said 'mellon,' and the doors to Khazad-dum opened wide."

No, [A-z] does not capture all letters. For example, "Å" and "é" are not usually included in the class [A-z], but it is often a part of the class \w.
