30 years ago that was an option in Almaty (was extremely convenient for me, as we lived literally 2 block from there). You could check in, drop baggage, go through security and then ride on a bus directly to the plane.…
I strongly believe that "having the two fields get initialized to Environment.TickCount" is the correct fix and using unsigned arithmetic is just a workaround. If you save the time of some event in some field, you…

This is very unlikely, because Asiana 214 crash happens in broad daylight at 11:28am, so it could not possibly trigger a rule forbidding visual approach at night.
Consumer Report is an American organization and they only report on cars sold here, so no Renault (not sold in USA) nor European Golf in the list.
My understanding is that at Columbus time they did not measured sun / moon positions, but instead based their predictions on the eclipse cycles - if you have long enough record of past eclipses, you can notice that they…

You meant Titan, didn't you? - Triton is Neptune's moon ;)
Hmm... Looks like train signals (usually? always?) have colors in the opposite order indeed. Probably, parent comment did mean driving a train? ;)

Nah, "1.1" is a valid IPv4 address (Cloudflare DNS) and it's shorter
This story is embedded into their novel "Жук в муравейнике" ("Beetle in the Anthill"), so it does not have a name, never being a separate short story.
The latest version of macOS Outlook (I have 16.64) can open EML files - for some reasons it cannot preview them, but opening works fine (although I vaguely remember that not working previously, not completely sure).…
A lot of elevators in US do indeed have G for the ground floor, but that's because they are made by ThyssenKrupp AG, a German company ;).
Git has "reset" in addition to "revert" (the former mutates history but the latter does not). What Mercurial has for removing the wrong commit? For amend option - well, we switched to Git at time of Mercurial 2.1 (I…
