I have no need of an in depth education as I still wouldn't understand it. I do not comprehend computer language although I understand the machines speak quite a different one from humans. That was a looooong page of characters just to reproduce a simple photo.<BR/>I am awed by the minds of theoretical physicists; the minds of computer people who create computer-speak is beyond me. Gads!

A browser won't render a photo (a JPEG file or a GIF file, both photo formats BTW) unless it knows that the files are, in fact, photos. And the way that a browser tells is by the extension on the file that is being served by the site that it comes from. A photo without the ".jpg" extension in the name may be treated as raw data as you saw above rather than as a picture to be rendered.<BR/><BR/>Know that might be somewhat hard to follow.
