  1. Re:AJPEG ... does it exist? Could it? on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1

    Yes, it does exist and it's called MPEG.

    Putting it like that is not entirely accurate, because MPEG's a lot more than animated JPEG. But there's some truth to it since MPEG uses the same algorithms as JPEG, and MPEG's I-frames are sort-of JPEG-encoded still images.

    First, I haven't heard of anybody who capitalizes "sun."

    Never heard of Sun Microsystems?

    Seriously, I believe when talking about names of planets in our solar system, Earth and Sun should be capitalized. Not 100% sure though because I'm not a native speaker, but at least in Finnish that's the case.

    As for the main matter, I've always been on the Internet's side (cause "there can be lots of internets but only one Internet") but now I'm beginning to think it could depend on the context, especially when using the abbreviations/nick names "net" and "web". In my thesis, however, I'm still going to write "the i^HInternet".

    ... is to take your computer with you, that's what I did!

    The official reason for having the computer was to use it in a music project (which we did) in the military band where I did my service. I know a few fellows who did the same thing, so I guess the point is to choose the place where you do your service carefully.
