Using setTimeout() for large values
<p>I'm trying to get an event to fire after five minutes.  I'm using the following code:</p>

<pre><code>setTimeout(tweet(name, type), 5 * 60 * 1000);
</code></pre>

<p>It <em>is</em> firing after a while, but not nearly five minutes (Usually two minutes or so, but sometimes it's instant.).  What am I doing wrong?  (I've also tried setting the time to <code>300000</code> instead, same problem.</p>
