Comments on: Javahackercoding 3: With a Vengeance http://nunnone.com/javahackercoding-3-with-a-vengeance/ Sometimes in the night, when it does get a bit lonely, I reach over and touch it.

Testing it on my computer's calculator and <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&num=100&q=3.2*400.1&aq=f&oq=&aqi=" rel="nofollow">Google</a> both gave the correct result - how do they correct for it? And so is it Java you can't trust for simple multiplication, or something wrong with NetBeans? Is there a way to account for it and stop it happening?
