We know that Pizza comes from Italy. Also we know that Flan comes from the Romans. But what about Chocolate? Was it from the Aztecs? Or was it from the Germans?

And if not, why not? (Assuming you could get away with it--i.e. just hop back in your time machine and no-one would know it was you.)

My daughter's ongoing history project of a news paper on the Battle of Hastings (thanks to those who offered title suggestions recently) needs to have an advertisement as part of a page. Any suggestions? Humorous and snappy but must be clean since she is only 11!

A lot of people claim that digital cameras distort and magnify facial imperfections. It's true, when I look at my parents old photos the quality is a lot lower so peoples skin looks good and minor flaws don't jump out at you. What is the point of using such high quality cameras when they make people look awful half the time? Just wondering.

Often when people say 'my favourite colour is black!' there is always someone to say 'black isn't a colour its a shade!' People who say that always think that their Rocket Scientists who have just shared life changing information, however they can never answer my question 'what is black a shade of?'... 1 to me, 0 to NASA

Why did the U.S. let Russia get to Berlin first. From what I've read about it and what General Patton has said is that we could have gotten there first? I know that there was supposed to be a last hold out in the mountains, but I would like to think that the U.S would have had better intelligance than that. It just seems like a very big prize to get after all that happened to just let the Russians have it. The Russians did have a very beg score to settle, even more so than the U.S., but their was an awful lot at stake.

I just want to throw this in to freak everyone else out.

ISO is NOT an adjustment to the sensitivity of the sensor. A sensor can either detect photons or not. It can not vary the sensitivity to those photons.

ISO in a digital camera refers to the gain applied to the signal sent from the sensor to the processor. Think of the ISO adjustment as an analogy to a volume knob on an amplifier. Adujsting the ISO upwards boosts the signal sent from the sensor to the processor. More signal ("louder" signal, if you will) leads to digital noise as some of the signal from one individual diode jumps over to an neighbor, creating noise. Think of it as being analogous to distortion as an amplifer runs out of headroom and eventually starts to clip the signal because it can't handle it. There's your "hot" or blown pixel in high ISO settings.

I want to start using this as part of my answer when someone asks for a definition of ISO in a digital camera. What do you think of that???
