Egg on my face - NO promised JPG! ANTI-CLIMAX!


I can substantiate that I use twice saved picture data to attempt a forensic value to my observations occasionally, but this one I cannot prove. When I do so, I use the print screen feature of DOS, and paste in MSPaint. I then save the result to disk in one format, and turn around and "save AS" and specify a competing format. Jpgs save space, but bmps are hard to tamper with. Tifs attempt to store warts and all -RAW- data.

I apologize for being indeterminate about Wikileaks - they usually expect Journalists and persons in fear for their lives to be "on the line."

Below was relevant to a discussion of when a scheduled maintenance was done - As I recall I was not satisfied with Monday afternoon, so soon after the weekend, and yet mysteriously not at night :-)

Apologies I cannot reach back into history and show this one theatrically - For Court, a judge would accept the word of a data retrieval specialist that the pics were there - discussion as to whether they were the product of Photoshop and an admittedly creative imagination would follow.

I guess I figured this one would never really matter, and deleted language subject to misinterpretation and embarrassment :-(
