Thankyou upnorth71. On the MP issue, and to confirm that we share the same and sane point of view : I believe that with film technology a good 35mm frame (good meaning with fine-grain low to medium sensitivity emulsion) had no more than 7MP (i.e. silver particles) in the best…

Humongus numbers of MP are not all that important, if you consider that most people content themselves with compressed formats and that picture files larger than 1MB are a scare for many. Why have 10 or 12 or 15 MP at hand for shooting a JPEG-mutilated picture ? I would…

To Sarge, ExPrinceska, KissMint : in French, the word "décolletage" exists, but... it has a meaning that you could not guess, being a technical word for precision-turning of mechanical pieces. The meaning that you expect it to have belongs to a remote past. Maybe today's Québecquois use it in that…

The core of the problem is that Japan is not a democracy. It has democratic institutions, but they do not work ; they don't because the japanese citizens in many many cases do not have the desire of making them work. This is the price paid to this culture of…

Chinpira : are you sure ? Pedophile porn is not illegal (for buying or possession) ? I had already understood that Japan is one of the biggest brothels on earth (although not as much advertised for that as some other countries of the area), but what strikes me now is…

Careful Aki !! Do not mess up your shirt. If you come back home with a grease stain, the Missus is going to give you hell tonight ! Not to mention the fact that the Grand Stewart will no longer allow you to go out so freely in the future.

There are things that a mechanical engineer can notice, from the pictures and the accounts, and this is the basis for my "theories" as Mr Gibson says, or hypotheses if you prefer. On the oxygen cylinders : one is missing, is it because it exploded and that no trace (repeat…

If Ciron, Dixon and Gibson had said nothing we would be just as wise about the case... Don't misunderstand, northlondon, it is highly likely that the explosive decompression is the consequence, not the cause, of this aircraft suddenly losing a large piece of its fuselage skin. Additionally, I believe that…
