In the referenced message, I wrote: } The single best N bit to 1 bit quantization that I've }seen so far happened to be a high-res split-beaver shot. Although I }don't generally keep porn images, I kept this one as you say "for }testing purposes". Although I haven't heard anything through channels yet, some of the powers at LBL have apparently gotten upset over this statement. So even though it will ruin my reputation as a flamer, I guess I have to admit that I lied. There is no pornography stored at LBL, not even test images. There is nothing in my bitmap collection, public or private, that could get a rating higher than PG-13. In fact, one of the motivations for putting together my bitmap collection in the first place was that all the other bitmap collections I had seen were full of pornography, and I wanted to make something better available. It is true that the best quantization job I've seen was pornographic. I did not keep it, because at a government lab you have to be careful about how things might look to the press. Even if it interferes with your research. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@helios.ee.lbl.gov ...well!pokey Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today -- I think he's from the CIA.
