        Yes and this is even more annoying when the first pic is that of an attractive lady and for programmatic reasons you want to see a higher resolution image (for science). And end up getting the same image. That is annoying!

          More to the point, why don't more websites use the magic infinite detail zoom that I always see on CSI? ;P

                                        I think you will find that many web designers think that some things are bigger than they really are...

                                        Nah, it's the webmasters fault. We're not responsible for the crappy content on the page.

                                          More to the point, why don't more websites use the magic infinite detail zoom that I always see on CSI? ;P

                                          Actually you would be surprised what can be done. I have some image processing in my background and most of my team joked about the craziness of TV. Realy the craziness is just that it is a under budgeted CSI group that would have access. But it is not that far fetched, except for how quickly they accomplish it. Look into Wavelet Theory[^] if you are interested in more. Best put on your math hat though. If you thought Fourier transforms were hard you will likely stumble before you finish the abstract readings...

                                          Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
