Solar road opens in the Netherlands

The world's first road capable of turning sunlight into energy officially opened for traffic Wednesday in the Netherlands.

It's actually a 230-foot-long bike path in the town of Krommenie. The road is a test route developed by the company SolaRoad.

"SolaRoad is a world first that will put the Netherlands on the map as a leader in sustainable innovation," said Henk Kamp, the Dutch minister of economic affairs, at the opening.

The path is made of concrete modules with solar cells and covered with a thin layer of tempered glass.

The energy created from the road can power things like street and traffic lights or households, according to company officials.

Testing will continue for three years to further develop solar roads, officials said.

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames

Sometimes you may receive a message sent to an address that looks like yours but has a different number or arrangement of periods. While we know it might be unnerving if you think someone else's mail is being routed to your account, don't worry: both of these addresses are yours.

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

• harishverma12@gmail.com = haris.hv.erma.12@gmail.com
• harishverma12@gmail.com = HARISHVERMA12@gmail.com
• harishverma12@gmail.com = Harish.verma.12@gmail.com

All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account.

If you get mail that seems to be intended for someone else, it's likely that the sender entered the wrong address, just like if you've ever dialed a wrong phone number for someone. In these cases, we suggest contacting the original sender or website when possible to alert them to the mistake.

One last thing: Google Apps does recognize dots. If you'd like to have a dot in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add your preferred username as a nickname.
