Who pays for this blog? I receive no fees, considerations, etc. etc. for the posts on this blog nor do I have any plans to accept any. My salary is paid by Canwest Global Communications Corp. I work for that company as the Ottawa-based National Affairs Correspondent for Canwest News Service. The blog publishing platform used here is called Blogware and it's developed by Tucows Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My use of Blogware should not be taken as an endorsement of that company.

Google sells those ads and Google, not me, decides what advertising content you are seeing. I do not filter these ads and take no responsibility for them. Readers should not assume I endorse any of the products or services advertised here. If you think other disclosures are appropriate in this space, I'd like to hear from you.

Re: [What they said] Apple calculator a bad joke

Could this be a rounding error issue that is documented
From Apple Support Pages:
Mac OS X 10.3: Calculator "Rounding Errors"
Sometimes, Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Calculator results may include "rounding errors". Choose a lower Precision setting from the View menu to avoid this issue in the main Calculator window.
Sometimes you may see different results in the Paper Tape window. For example, if you calculate 77 + .1, the result is 77.1 in the Calculator window as expected; but the Paper Tape window displays a result of "77.09999999999999".
Since Calculator uses floating-point arithmetic, the calculation is the expected result. Choose a lower Precision setting from the View menu to avoid this issue in the main Calculator window..
