Whoa, I just found this website with a great looking algorithm called surface solutions, check it out!

Damn, if that's the kind of improvement surface solutions have over bump mapping, everyone should put it in their programs asap! He even has some sample surface solutions textures under the 'free stuff' section:
I can't wait to add this to my programs!
(yes, this post is a joke. No, the website isn't...sadly. Oh, and thanks for the laughs Promit)
By the way, does anyone have any idea what kind of algorithm he's using with his so-called "bump maps"?
