... and here's a link to a site that agrees (in French) that my 3D web cam was the first:

*I* created the world's first 3D web cam.
I operated a 3D webcam from 1997 to 2001. And it was not just anaglyph. You could view anaglyph, cross-eyed side by side, wall-eyed side by side, interlaced for certain hardware stereo setups, and jps format for other hardware formats.
There is no way these jokers could possibly think they were first, unless they have never visited earth.
Unfortunately my web server is down at the moment. Search later for "bruns-cam 3d".
Submission + - Hacker does a DIY Amiga in FPGA (hetnet.nl)
An anonymous reader writes: Developer Dennis van Weeren recently announced completion of his from-scratch completely re-engineered Amiga chipset. His PCB design is fully operational and compatible and his verilog code has been released under GPL. Will this finally give the Amiga community a new breath of life?

It's OK for a shadow to move faster than light, because a shadow is not a thing.
The same principle allows the progress of a scan line on a CRT monitor to proceed at faster than the speed of light. It's different electrons and photons showing up farther along the screen, so it's OK for the trace on your screen to move faster than light.
