Exhaustive testing, however you wish to define that Exhaustive \Ex*haust"ive\, a. Serving or tending to exhaust; exhibiting all the facts or arguments; as, an exhaustive method. Ex*haust"ive*ly, adv.
Basically, it should mean you've tested everything (which is of course impossible in most cases). The term usually used (and rightfully so) is extensive testing.
It's not Lego anyway, those are Duplo. Actually, IIRC, it's not even that, it's fake Lego (after all, Duplo ARE Lego). BTW, the thing is on display in the basement of the CS building of Stanford University.
It would have been great if they had used something really fundamental to determine the length of a meter, like after we learned some quantum physics Seeing that after over 200 years the metric system is still not universal, I dare not imagine what it would have been if we had had to wait until quantum physics. Note that the current definition is "the length of 1,650,763.73 wavelengths in vacuum of the orange-red emission line in the spectrum of krypton-86" (from your link), and that a metre is a "reasonable" length (i.e. close to human size). More reasonable than the gram for instance (which explains why the "standard" unit for weight is the kg). Oh, and "The metre was originally defined in 1791 by the French Academy of Sciences as 1/10,000,000 of the distance along the Earth's surface from the North Pole to the Equator along the meridian of Paris..." You're right, I was off by a 10 factor. Let's say I tend to use dam then:-)
Considering that in french, almost every "holy" word is a curse word, this could be funny This is only true of Canadian french, or three-centuries old french. Everyone seems to think the French always say "sacrebleu", whereas it hasn't really been used for centuries, but it is indeed derived from religious words ("bleu" is a modification of "dieu" (god) to avoid blasphemy)
My fucking god, what the hell, etc etc etc.... Is this on purpose that you use god and hell in this?
Right. Clearly you've never graded papers... I've never, in years of grading, found anything like a normal distribution. Yes, but have you ever graded 100000 tests at a time?
While I have your attention, does anyone happen to know how to isolate specific words from the lines that match? I wanted to come up with a matching wordlist without the surrounding words that "grep" produces.
From man grep: -o, --only-matching
Show only the part of a matching line that matches PATTERN.
To get all words containing "word": grep -o "\\(.\\B\\)*word\\(\\B.\\)*"
Exactly, there will be "kind of" a functional language - which has to use the same libraries everyone else does, which are all just like the Java libraries. So people using this pseudo-functional language will be hard-pressed to really see the advantages of a functional language as you would if you had a real function language with a set of libraries as broad as that offered by Java. I heard F# was supposed to be based on OCaml. OCaml already comes with a nice set of libraries, not to mention parser tools (which I heard were missing from C#). It even has bindings for SDL! And I don't know why you call it "pseudo" functional. Although I agree on the fact that the syntax for.NET bindings would probably have to be weird.

Now as to the storage, an average DVD has 7 to 9 GB of data. 1000 DVDs will take up nearly 10 TB. The MPEG2 data cannot be compressed any further losslessly. Yes it can (or at least with negligible loss). MPEG2 is old and inefficient, and already lossy; reencoding with a better codec would allow further compression with similar quality.

The "closing" of sites only means putting a new index page, with link to the normal one. You can still access the site.

My model uses the circumference of the Earth as a unit
I tend to use a millionth of a fourth of that as a measuring unit.
