The result was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's surprising that the venerable JPEG image compression standard, which dates back to 1986, is still the best we can do for photographic image compression.

		<description><![CDATA[Here's an interesting article that talks about the costs of leaving your PC on 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  You'll be surprised how much it uses, even when its sitting idle.  To some extent, I disagree with the author's comments about not using high-end kit.  Providing you're responsible when [...]]]></description>
