If it is going to be used instead of JPEG they are going to have to include EXIF data/. I am not clear whether you can currently, evidently some RIFF-based formats can but I am not sure whether just using RIFF enables this.
Cnet UK reports the car can do 0-60 mph in 3.4 sec. (and 50-90 mph in 2.3 sec.) and reach 205 mph while emitting less CO2 than a Toyota Prius."
After reading the article I think what it actually means is that it can be driven in electric only mode at slower speeds and emssions lower than the Prius or let the gas turbines kick in for a lot of power, but you won't be getting 28g/km when you do this. What we don't have is a figure for emissions in sustained normal driving, which are probably going to be similar or worse than the Prius
There was a joke during the early days of the space race where an American says to a Russian "Our German rocket-scientists are better than your German rocket-scientists".
It seems that in the race for the fastest train this has been replaced by "Our German rail-engineers are better than your German rail-engineers".
Why should someone who has studied for several years and has worked to gain specialist knowledge, want to work in an environment where people who know less than them and don't have to break their backs to meet arbitrary deadlines are more highly rewarded?
Sounds like the management of every company I have come across. If there are exceptions please let me know
Being a homebrewer making beer isn't that hard, if they really wanted to know how well it works have NASA go to the local homebrewing store (yes they do exist) buy a basic kit, teach the astronauts how to make beer on Earth and then have them do it in space.
Also the yeast is fermenting in a liquid so I don't see how it would make fermentation difficult for the yeast.
And why do they bother training them to space walk when most people can walk by the age of 18 months?

And unprecedented case. Seemingly abandoned spaceship on the streets of Moscow - it is something from the realm of fantasy. But alas, this is the true reality. Correspondent "MK" discovered orbiting Soviet "Buran" play like garbage on the outskirts of the capital. Nobody cares what was once a symbol of cosmic power of our country.

It will make it much harder to use Wikipedia as a reference. You will want to look up something quickly and be presented with four our five possibly relevant 10-minute videocasts on the subject.
If you have wet cloths freezing, etc. you are by definition at 0 or below. I have had that in previous houses and it is too cold, which is why I now have upstairs radiators set to the "frost protection" setting. BTW snuggling under the covers when you first get into a cold bed can often end up with sex with the wife!
It was only a few years ago that we moved to a house that had heating upstairs. We usually have it turned off, though when it gets very cold we have it on the "frost protection" setting. We also have the windows open a crack to give good ventilation. Warm bedrooms in winter just feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
I don't expect anyone under 40 who has been brought up with central heating would understand this.

Senate Votes To Turn Down Volume On TV Commercials
Why waste all this time voting. The one with the remote control should have just done it.
On my system, the WebP images take seconds to render, where the jpegs are near instant. )
Clever trick seeing as you can't view webp in a browser yet. I expect you are viewing .pngs produced from the webps.

We already have a "better than Jpeg" standard that hardly anyone supports, JPEG 2000. Anybody know how WebP compares to this?

I guess they can't outsource the IT work to india?
If you believe that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" you could. Nobody hates Al Quaida more than (non mozzy) Indians.

North Korea train is best train!
Yes, because it can get you out of North Korea.
It appears that the Chinese record is for trains that will be used in service, not experimental vehicles.
In your face Japan!
You know this should probably be marked informative. I'm sure that this was as much of a motivation as cutting journey times.

Have you ever seen a Russian drink a glass of water?
Well ... since Vodka is Russian for water....
What a waste of time and money
Why do you hate science?
We seem to have a science fundie here!
Presumably they do apply in America, though?
Unless you're a Muslim
The cheapest PAYG Android phone in the UK is about £80, less than half the price of the cheapest Touch.
Which phone is that? Most I have seen have been twice that, and I don't think I've seen one below £100. At £80 I might get one
apologies for duplicate post - I got the "original context lost" message and posted again!

Legos are most fun for adults when you are making 12 inch long yellow and red block cocks.
Only if you have an unnatural interest in poultry.

I guess you either live somewhere that's warm all the year round or you heat your rooms 24 hours a day.
You don't heat your home to a reasonable level 24/7? I'd hardly call 5C reasonable.
At night time when you have decent bed covers its fine.

Also what happens if they develop a much better Incandescent bulb that is almost on-par with substitutes?
They count as energy saving and are allowed. I actually have one for a room where we have a dimmer switch, it is a halogen bulb inside an normal one!
