    Float64ToBinaryString


Returns a string representation of the bits in a given Float 64, Expample:
> float2bin(-1234.5678);
  "1100000010010011010010100100010101101101010111001111101010101101"

My first approach was
function(a){
  var b=''+a<0?((a=-a)&&1):0,
      c=Math,
      d=~~c.floor(c.log(a)/c.log(2)),
      e;

  b+=(1e15+(d+1023).toString(2)).slice(-11);
  a-=c.pow(2,d);
  for(;b.length<64;)
    e=c.pow(2,--d),
    b+=e<=a?(a-=e)&0||1:0;
  return b;
};

But was too long so after watch @bartaz talk on jsconf I switched to ArrayBuffer and DataView
function(a,b,c){
  b=new DataView(new ArrayBuffer(8));
  b.setFloat64(0,a);
  for(c=8,a='';c--;)
    a=(1e9+b.getUint8(c).toString(2)).slice(-8)+a;
  return a
}

It was still too long so I came up with the final version with bitwise operators
function(a,b,c){
  b=new DataView(new ArrayBuffer(8));
  b.setFloat64(0,a);
  for(a='',c=64;c--;)
      a=(b.getUint8(c/8)&1<<(7-c%8)?1:0)+a;
  return a
}


## annotated.js
function(a, // Float input
         b, // DataView placeholder
         c  // Counter
        ){
  b=new DataView(new ArrayBuffer(8)); // Initialize DataView with 8 bytes ArrayBuffer
  b.setFloat64(0,a); // Set the input float at index 0
  for(c=64, // Set the counter to the max
      a=''; // Reuse a to be the output string
    c--;    // Iterate backwards
     )
    a=(
      b.getUint8(c/8) // Get de integer
      &1<<(7-c%8) // and checks if the bit is on
      ?1:0)+a; // prepend 1 or 0
  return a
}

## index.js
function(a,b,c){b=new DataView(new ArrayBuffer(8));b.setFloat64(0,a);for(c=64,a='';c--;)a=(b.getUint8(c/8)&1<<(7-c%8)?1:0)+a;return a}
