In discussing various image compression schemes recently, several people have
mentioned a technique called JPEG.

1. What is JPEG?

2. Who publishes the actual JPEG specs and how can I get a hold of it?

3. Has anyone actually adopted this technique as a standard?

4. I know it is a lossy technique, but what is the general consensus as to its  
results?

Thanks in advance for any info.
