Flying the Airbus A380

FloatsomNJetsom writes "So the largest passenger airplane in the world actually is pretty large inside — Popular Mechanics has a great article and video from their test flight on the brand new double-decker Airbus A380. This includes footage of takeoff, interviews with the pilot and test engineer, a rundown on the bar, the two staircases, and an attempt to walk down a crowded aisle from one end of the plane to the other without having to say 'excuse me.'"

    Man, it's one thing to have someone spoil the joke by telling the secret.
    It's another thing altogether to have someone spoil the joke by thinking they are telling the secret, and screwing up the math along the way.

    (Hint : It's been a long time since I dabbled, but last time I checked 32767 as a signed short = 0111 1111 1111 1111 binary.
    Add one and you get 1000 0000 0000 0000, which is -32768, not -1. A+ for effort though.)
