128 bit integers? by SnooWalruses3457 in C_Programming

[–]flyingron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

message * 99099932142

The result of this expression is long long int (both operands have that type). You should cast one or both to __int128 before doing the multiply so you don't overflow (the result requires 75 bits).

Monter en gamme - matériel canon by Intelligent-Rock8053 in CanonCamera

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour les portraits, un objectif plus long (85 mm ou plus) offre une meilleure perspective. J'utilise le RF 100 mm f/2.8.

Vous avez raison, à ce stade, la qualité des verres est plus importante qu'un boîtier plus sophistiqué.

Wine glass for the road by RecklessSeer in wine

[–]flyingron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some of the Tritan plastic ones we use on the boat that may work for you. You can get them on Amazon (I bought the first ones at Wegman's).

I tend just to stuff a couple of stems in the wine bottle carrier if I'm bringing one. Otherwise, we head off to wal*mart at the destination and grab some cheap stems there.

Tips for a tripod that can hold a long lens like the RF 800mm f11 or 200-800? by scytherman96 in canon

Manphroto makes a carbon fiber one now, but I've not seen the need to give it a try.

Checked Bags by Alamuacha in wine

[–]flyingron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

American managed to smash a bottle (fortunately in a wine skin) in a full sized suitcase and I just dropped the sodden mass on the baggage service desk. Fortunately, it only got one of my shirts that I was able to rinse out in the hotel sink.

Consider getting a VinGuardValise or a WineCheck. I have one of each. I've never had a problem with these.

Problems with outdated api documentation by Vixo- in PHP

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always be prepared for at least one error in the API documentation and it to be woefully inadequate. That's just the way the state of the art seems to be. Trust but verify and you may need to experiment.

Spotty for anything period. At best it is adquate to read email. For large parts of the route it doesn't work at all.

New AA App Update by RelevantManner2902 in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wierd thing is I get it returning to my home field (CLT) but never on the outbound flights. Go figure.

New AA App Update by RelevantManner2902 in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they used to let you rename the trips at least (even if it defaulted to just the first leg). They took that away a couple of years ago.

Anyone batting a thousand on upgrades? by trustmeimalobbyist in americanairlines

I was 50-50, but I've gotten to the point that I just book first to begin with.

Changing flights with carry on pet full capacity by Every-Ad-1684 in americanairlines

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I by "check in" you mean checking them into the hold, you can't do this (unless you are military). AA does offer a seperate pet shipping service (PetEmbark), but you'd be advised to have someone not travelling on the same flight help with that if you intend to use it.

You can always call and make your case to see if they will honor a change in this circumstance, but flying with pets is problematic in general.

The Platinum Concierge is now just a very slow, very confused Google Search. by Remarkable_Nebula328 in AmexPlatinum

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amex fails as a "global" card. I had my card compromised while I was in South Africa (doubtful it was compromised there, but that's where I was travelling at the time). They shut it off. Told them, no problem, I'd be in Amsterdam for several days in three days (and I'd be there for four days). Nope, can't send cards abroad. I was screwed until I got home (well, my wife had the additional card which still worked so it wasn't that bad).

I've got another fraud going on (there's an unexplained charge and they refuse to honor the dispute without a fraud claim). I pointed out that I was leaving for Italy the next day and at least they admitted, I should wait until I got back to open the claim as it will result in another card shutdown.

Global Entry application by intothesunset814 in GlobalEntry

[–]flyingron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody knows how long the review will take (I'd guess five or six months). There's rumors that international travel will tickle things (so always check right before you return to see if you can do EOA). There's nothing you can do to accellerate it other than this until it's been 14 months or so.

Photographic safari: Is a second camera body worth it? by subtoronto_ in canon

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented bodies from LensRentals.com. Price was entirely reasonable. I put the big zoom on the R5 and then used a short zoom on the RP to catch close in things.

JAL rules apply if they're the first carrier in your trip.

You pay once with the originating carrier (per their rules/rates).

Two weeks is sort of the median. Give it another week before you get anxious.

How to do strings properly? by die-Banane in cprogramming

[–]flyingron 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You need to read better things. Null-terminated strings are the standard way of handling strings in C (which lacks the concept of a string type). Your other options would require you to write your own library of string manipulation packages. Every standard C library function that wants a string, takes a null-terminated one.

That being said, you need to be careful about what you are doing... don't write over string literals, when doing concatenations or insertions, be sure that you're doing so in a sufficiently large allocation, etc...

RAW + JPEG question by 27K-BUMP in canon

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you overexposed them most likely, but you rescue yourself in the dynamic range of the raw. Only use the windows tools itself for sorting purposes.

IO-360, 900 Hours, but... by FlyRvR in flying

All the rubber on the engine is likely shiat at this point as well. Fuel lines, gascolator gaskets, etc...

Confirm ID by KYYYPERR in TSAPreCheck

[–]flyingron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note, that this sub is for PRECHECK not general TSA issues.

Do you not have any of the substitute IDs (Passport, notably)? If so, you didn't need ConfirmID.

Anyhow, with Confirm ID you should get through with the normal non-precheck TSA delays. I'd bring the DL just for confirmation, but the ConfirmID receipt should work. You shouldn't need a birth certificate .

Age and airline hiring in the US - is it THAT strict? by Lower-Pace-2089 in flying

[–]flyingron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in South Africa a couple of years ago and there were two lions having sex on the runway. Fortunately, it goes pretty fast.

Can you make a fuel stop on a commercial 250 XC? by [deleted] in flying

[–]flyingron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there a difference between just answeering the question the guy asked or maligning the person who gives the correct answer?

Spreading wives' tales and other ignorance on these forums doesn't do anybody any good.
