Boeing is obligated to release the result of the investigation.
Have you heard that one of the main reasons for the delay in
production for the 787 is the danger that some hacker on board
could conceivably take control over the aircraft?

I understood that methylated spirit is nasty: does the milk
denature the methanol or just the taste?

I did tell you that the reason I didn't order the rendang was that
there weren't rendang smells in the air? Anyhow, the Chinese duck
was what was available on the cheapest set menu, S$16. Of course,
that was off"set" by the $10.50 Tiger.
