Respectively to JPEG, the new standard gives a smaller file size and better image quality, and some new possibilities, such as transparency and translucency (alpha-channel).

On one side, Electronics is, certainly, only part and derivative of Physics, and the first cannot exist without the latter.

- Dis# 3.1.1, Back To Sources — The great feature of bytecode-based languages, and, namely, .NET assemblies, is a possibility to «return to source code» at any time. Assembly decompilation is a great tool to understand «how something works», either some general algorithms and data structures, or internal logics of some software or components.
