Lots of people learned in school (in my part of Canada, at least) that 1km = 0.62 miles. If you use that value, you get 800km = 496 miles. Seems like that's what happened here.

The who should pay part might be even more important now. As a condo the individual owners are collectively on the hook for repairs if insurance doesn't pay out. And they're now in possession of condo units they can't sell an

For what it's worth, OutputDebugString() still exists and works in Windows 10. It just displays the text in the Visual Studio output window, but it's neat how much Windows 1.0 code will work without too much modification on Win10.

I get that weird concept/location thing too, and I usually can't figure out the association. For example, when I hear "Turbo Pascal" I immediately see the intersection of Lawrence Ave. East and Pharmacy Avenue in Toronto

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but every source I've seen indicates that the majority of heat in Quebec is electric. This matches my experience, FWIW. When I lived in Ottawa, I occasionally looked at hous
