Right after you mentioned mantissa, I went out and researched the
float standard, which mentioned nothing of initialization. The
compiler compiles code that initializes a number, I still see no
reason that a number would be left unitialized. Anyway, that page you
gave me is about accumulated error, and he does it over a billion
values. Its fairly good that most computers are less then a 10'th off
(in my opponion)

Anyway, I don't feel like arguing this, I have no intention of not
fixing my code, machine-machine is still unsafe.
