content: Photo taken at Sercel, according to original file, 27/10/2006I was working on an ocean bottom seismic recorder, debugging a particularly elusive fault.Don't recall who took the photo or what I was gesturing about. I think there are other photos from that day, and when looking for a photo for the channel went through the archives and thought that one looked cool.Found another one of two young looking bastards from 2002, Thales according to the badge

content: I was think of that gray beard guy in the picture too, but couldn't remember the name funny you thought the same thing. He actually died not to long ago seems like the mad professor type like cliff stole of Klein bottle/hacking fame.Is that a coincidence or did you see that show? What was that video for? That was the days when a "viral video" were on VHS tapes and the "hits" were measured by how bad the tracking and edges of the screen were from being copied 100 times. I had a few of those tapes of people doing crazy illegal things on motorcycles and this guy who could wheelie a four wheeler as long as he wanted driving it down the highway and passing cars steering all on two wheels.

content: Stop trying to look at labeling the shots as "staged". Focusing on the visual similarities without considering the personalities, cultural influences and industry norms has the ability to lead you on a journey of supposition that will make conspiracy theorists look conservative.Just imagine what the response would be if someone walked into any lab/workshop/office and indicated they were going to do something that would have damaged a mission critical or expensive bit of kit - or disturb a carefully set up experiment. I think the reactions portrayed would not be an uncommon one.
