The Siggraph `91 Conference On Computer Graphics and Interactive
Techniques will be held July 29 - August 2 in Las Vegas, NV. The following
contains selected portions of the recently released Siggraph '91
Preliminary Program:
[cont'd from yesterday -jt]
PANELS
=============================================================================
Panel : Graphics Hardware Standards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The panelists will address the surge of interest in standard,
interchangeable graphics components. Such standards are of topical importance
because, as graphics manufacturers go out of business, it would be convenient
if their products could be disassembled and plugged directly into Silicon
Graphics products.
Panel : Raster Image File Format Standards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chairman : N. AfricanAmericanPonte, MIT Media Lab
Panelists:
M.W. Mantle, Pixar
"We should be happy to live in a country with so many raster image
standards to choose from."
S. Thomas, Univ. of Michigan
"I don't know which universal image standard everyone is going to use,
but I know which one I'm going to use."
A. Warhol, independent
"In the future, everyone will design an image format that will be the
industry standard for fifteen minutes."
============ Coming in Tomorrow's .plan: EXTENDED ABSTRACTS ===============

mingliu (Minghsun Liu):
"The GNU copyleft, which creates legal obligations on the part of
anyone selling it, causes lawyers to go into infinite loops."
- Andrew Tannenbaum
"The only thing wrong with the gene pool is it lacks a lifeguard."
"Every institution I've ever been associated with has tried to screw
me."
- Stephen Wolfram

sao (Andy Oakland):
I dreamed I'd died and gone to hell. There was Billy Idol on MTV
singing a Doors song. My horror grew immeasurably as it dawned on
me that I wasn't asleep.

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Go placidly among the noise and haste, remember what peace
there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with with all persons. Speak your truth
quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and
ignorant, they too have their story - Avoid loud and aggressive
persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare
yourself with others, there will be greater and lesser persons
than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans -
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a
real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise
caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere, life is full
of heroism - Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass - Take kindly
to the counsel of they years, gracefully surrending the things
of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome
discipline, be gentle with yourself - You are a child of the
universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right
to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
universe is unfolding as it should - Therefore be at peace with
God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with
your soul - With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is
still a beautiful world. Be careful, strive to be happy.
- Max Ehrman
