My Head Hurts

  Seriously guys...  Okay I'll share this with you since X will get a kick out of it and so will any of you that are into computers (sigh).  I message X and ask him a question and 10 minutes later he comes back and says "sorry knee deep in figuring out why Microsoft can't change an int to a float without a 3 line long cast."
  I cocked my head to the side and squinted at my screen, hoping that this madness he was speaking was actually another language I could google translate.  If any of you have "that programmer friend" you will know what came next.  I asked "What sort of crazy are you speaking?"  Which, I now know, was probably the worst idea ever!  For the next hour I was explained to what Ints are, what floats are, how they effect Cpu speed, Ram speed, why floats are the devil and how variable precision is evil.
  To be fair to X, I now understand quite a lot more about computers.  That's pretty cool, however I still have no clue how it will effect the game... Maybe one of you do?  Drop us a comment so I can look extra cool next time I talk to X.

p.s. No making me look stupid by giving me gibberish to tell him... Sometimes I swear you guys make up words!
