What, simple out of bounds reading? You've got to be kidding me... :facepalm:

Exactly that. Though not a direct one, as the OpenSSH or FreeBSD developers assume in their criticism of OpenSSL bypassing C standard library safety concepts. The real code is a bit more complex, hiding the actual bug a bit. But still, there is a lack of assertions in the place, that should have caught such an misconception early.

It is a stupid tiny error, that should not have gotten into the repository at all, but went undetected for years.
 
Called it.

Pro tip: When you know which plane you'll fly in just two weeks: The "Accidents and incidents involving *your aircraft type*" isn't a very good Wikipedia page to read.
On the other hand if something happens I'm the "Have you checked..." type of guy. Who gets hated by everyone before you crash and die. Dammit.

Then again I think I never flew in an 737-800. Let's see if NextGen aircraft are as boring as NextGen consoles.
 
What's the worst that could happen? It's not like you'd suddenly disappear over an Ocean one night, and...crash into the...Oh.

Should be uneventful. Just remember that the overwing exit hatches tip the scales at 75 pounds (34 kilos to the rest of the world. :P) and that the door goes IN before going OUT.

That being said, you should be more concerned for your luggage than for yourself.
 
Who shines a high-power laser pointer into windows at 6am on a Sunday?

Flew on a couple 738s last year (Southwest Airlines) on the way to SAP TechEd Vegas. Great ride, very smooth. I think the '37 is one of my favorites, although the '57 I flew in on the way back was much roomier ;)

And that sitting next to the emergency exit is the row with the most place for your feet.:cheers:
