My entry in the nitpicking contest

Robert — 3/23/2009 5:33:45 PM (archived)

I noticed that when Kara punched in the coordinates of the Magical Million Lightyear Jump, the system took three coordinates of 4 integers plus a fractional part each. Which means that they jumped a million lightyears with an accuracy of one part in 10,000, which is to say, a "spherical probability of error" of 100 lightyears...and ended up in a seemingly-perfect low lunar orbit. That was so special too.
