Bytes suck!

Could someone with more computer-arithmetic clout than I, explain why, in BLOCKED SCRIPT
var pulse = 0.8;
var pulseComplement = 1 - pulse;
causes:
pulseComplement == 0.19999999999999995
Why does the thing treat 0.8 as 0.80000000000000005?
PS.
That's in IE. Firefox produces 0.1999999999999999[b]6[/b]
How hard is it to store 0.8? When did 8e-1 become irrational? What am I missing?
PSII
It's a tiny, tiny error, and doesn't cause much trouble in the way of pixel-precision, so the question is largely academic.

Thank you.
