I get a message that says Floating point exception has occurred. Is this a bug in InstantTrack?

InstantTrack FAQ
Maybe so, but more probably you have a hardware problem. This is commonly caused by using a slow math coprocessor in a fast motherboard. Try running ITNCP.EXE (which doesn't use the coprocessor at all) instead of IT.EXE and see if the problem goes away. If it does, the problem is probably your coprocessor. InstantTrack may be the only program you run that really exercises the coprocessor extensively.

top] Can I log an exception without an accompanying message?

SLF4J FAQ
If e is an Exception, and you would like to log an exception at the ERROR level, you must add an accompanying message. For example, You might correctly observe that not all exceptions have a meaningful message to accompany them. Moreover, a good exception should already contain a self explanatory description. The accompanying message may therefore be considered redundant. While these are valid arguments, there are three opposing arguments also worth considering.

What does it mean when it says the rate is floating?

VA Mortgage Center.com - VA Home Loans - Frequently Asked Qu...
Floating a rate means your rate is not locked in. It can float up and down depending on the market. If you are ready to lock in, let your loan officer know and he or she can lock you in at the best rate that day. The main reason your loan officer would float your loan is because he or she may have reason to believe the rates will drop in the next few days, allowing you to receive a lower rate.

What is InstantTrack?

InstantTrack FAQ
InstantTrack is a satellite tracking program. That means that you feed it Keplerian elements (see this tutorial on Keplerian elements if you don't know what they are) and keep your computer's clock set accurately, and it gives you information about where the satellite is located right now. See also this explanation of satellite tracking programs. It can do a lot more, too. For more information, see the InstantTrack page.

What are floating-point numbers?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A floating-point number is a number that has a fractional part; it is written with a decimal point, e.g.: 2.5, 3.141, -5.99. Floating point numbers are distinguished from integers, which have no fractional part. In Java, there are two types of floating-point numbers, those of type float and those of type double. Numbers of type double have higher precision than those of type float. By default, we will use double for floating-point numbers in CS111.

How can I handle floating-point exceptions gracefully?

System Dependencies
On many systems, you can define a function matherr which will be called when there are certain floating-point errors, such as errors in the math routines in <math.h>. You may also be able to use signal (see question 19.38) to catch SIGFPE. See also questions 14.9 and 20.6b.

How can I store a floating point number into an integer?

COSC 2410: Computer Organization and Programming Lab Web Pag...
FIST stores the value in ST to the specified memory location or register. Temporary-real values in registers are converted to the appropriate integer, BCD, or floating-point format as they are stored. With FSTP, FISTP, and FBSTP, the ST register value is popped off the stack. Memory operands can be 32-, 64-, or 80-bit real numbers for FSTP, or 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integers for FISTP.

Can you change or enter floating point values?

Binary file editor for Windows, FAQ
You can enter a new floating point value in the fields of the Properties dialog. Just type the new value into the "value" field and press Enter (or Esc to abort). You can enter IEEE floating point values using the "IEEE" page or IBM floating point values using the "IBM FP" page. You can also change the byte-order using the "Big-endian" check box and enter 32-bit or 64-bit values depending on the format selected.

I keep getting a RealPlayer message that says: "Unable to connect to Server". What is wrong?

FAQ at English Online Net
Check your RealPlayer Proxy settings. Open RealPlayer and click on View, Preferences, and then on the Proxy tab. If you are at work or on a local area network (LAN), chances are that you are connecting to the Internet through a proxy server. If you are, simply ask your system administrator for your unique proxy settings. If you are connecting via phone line or something similar--not through a proxy--be sure that "No HTTP Proxy" is selected under HTTP Options.
