My guess is that since we're dealing with floating point the result ends up being ever-so-slightly negative. I just need to find an Opera 12.17 to prove it.

@gibson042 what do you think?

Looks like it's from loss of precision in a string cast for parseFloat... the fix will be almost certainly be replacing obj - parseFloat( obj ) >= 0 with !isNaN( obj - parseFloat( obj ) ).
