FlNaN Undefined is scheduled to land at Frist International at -1am
Admin
Taking a punt I'd guess that the MyVit system shards users into 9 (10?) groups by the first digit of their account ID and its the 'cluster' handling 6 that was having problems. That or an admin ran a query that deleted a specific set of data.
Admin
if NaN is undefined.... a plane crash is sure to follow?
Admin
If there was only a way to check for NaN, the world would be a better place.
Admin
FLnnn is probably "flight level", which is in units of 100 feet, in multiples of 500 feet. Look it up on Wikipedia if you want to know details.
Admin
"If there was only a way to check for NaN, the world would be a better place."
Javascript has two ! isNaN('NaN') //true Number.isNaN('NaN') //false
(Sigh)
Addendum 2019-05-31 08:43: (Comment system eats line spacing. Sigh)

I'd guess that their IDs are 5-digit "numbers", and they started running into trouble around the 65k mark.

I can't afford a car that costs $NaN. When you try to test if my bank account has a sufficient balance, if(my_balance >= cost) returns false.
Admin
There's more ways to check for NaN than that! If you have a floating-point variable f, if f != f, then f is NaN. It is in the IEEE-754 spec! You can also read this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1565164/what-is-the-rationale-for-all-comparisons-returning-false-for-ieee754-nan-values

The FAA has assigned the label "NaN" to UFOs.
Admin
The infamous Florida NaN strikes again!
Admin
that thermometer gag reminds me of an old TV show (i think it was the original Hawaii 5-0) where crooks dug under a bank vault full of gold, then used a Laser to MELT the gold so it would flow through a hole...BUT this caused the thermometer outside the bank to show 200 degrees!
Admin
As a laser engineer I can tell you that using a laser to melt anything is horribly inefficient. You're better off using the cooling system there is much more heat there.
In short just use all that energy to power a blowtorch or an electric welder and meld your gold that way.
It's even worse for gold since it is highly reflective for the more efficient lasers.
My advice (as a trained laser engineer..) if it is possible without lasers, do it without lasers.

Accounts beginning with 6 could be many things - country, business, who pays for it, etc - and a blanket decision was made to cut off access.
Admin
So what's wrong with the first email? Is it just a millennial complaining about email not being an instantaneous means of delivery?
Admin
No, it was the fact that the email arrived a whole month after his actual stay.
Admin
If your altitude is NaN, you should prepare for a hard landing.
Admin
My comment stands.
Admin
Good for you!
Admin
More error messages should include stock photos.
Admin
You kids don't know how easy you have it. When I was your age I didn't get to build my own Odyssey. It was all built for me.
Admin
FLNaN undefined is flying from null island to null island.
Admin
Accounts beginning with '6'? Sixers sux0rz! Go, go, gunters!
Admin
"FLNaN" - a common mistake is to treat strings as numbers because they happen to be numeric. A flight number is not a number. The litmus test is "Would it ever make sense to do arithmetic with this?", or equivalently "Is this a quantity of something? What's the unit of measurement?"
