Actually it's
37000018.99999691892045945848382198708809508015441 883444890452031261651529402910555642951
according to
http://www.sun-microsystems.org/BigC...lculator.shtml, which can compute it to any number of decimal places you want.

The idea that the displayed digits have to be inaccurate is nonsense. Designers are just lazy.
