I try to always remember:

Floats are great for quick, mostly correct, math.

Think REALLY carefully about any process that then 'compares' the result. Usually you're "doing it wrong" if that's the case.

I think I might even find it useful if compilers could be instructed to warn whenever comparison operators were used on a float type value.
