_________________________________________
/ mooo... This is the Jargon of the day: \
| infinite /adj./ Consisting of a large |
| number of objects; extreme. Used very |
| loosely as in: "This program produces |
| infinite garbage." "He is an infinite |
| loser." The word most likely to follow |
| `infinite', though, is hair. (It has |
| been pointed out that fractals are an |
| excellent example of infinite hair.) |
| These uses are abuses of the word's |
| mathematical meaning. The term |
| `semi-infinite', denoting an |
| immoderately large amount of some |
| resource, is also heard. "This compiler |
| is taking a semi-infinite amount of |
| time to optimize my program." See also |
\ semi. /
