Nah, it's that damn metric system (think Gimli Glider).
Well, they haven't made a language yet which can divide acres by feet and coerce the

And thanks for the Gimli Glider story, I did

André,
(You always make me write so much code!)
I don't /make/ you write code, I just provide the inspiration.
I'm quite good at that, when I don't have to do the work myself.
Thanks for writing the code in question

Does the Java compiler do this? One would think so, but judging
from the results you guys are displaying, it seems not.
javac does do the constant

My hardware internals knowledge is just as rusty as my coding
skills, but doesn't the hardware catch the overflow and raise
the exception anyway

What kind of stupid compiler is this, which requires me to say
double d = 1.0 / 2;
to get a correct result ?
