               near as to render the star invisible.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hello sailor! interj.   Occasional West Coast equivalent of
   {hello world}; seems to have originated at SAIL, later associated
   with the game {Zork} (which also included "hello, aviator" and
   "hello, implementor").   Originally from the traditional hooker's
   greeting to a swabbie fresh off the boat, of course.   The standard
   response is "Nothing happens here."; of all the Zork/Dungeon games,
   only in Infocom's Zork 3 is "Hello, Sailor" actually useful
   (excluding the unique situation where _knowing_ this fact is
   important in Dungeon...).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   hill climbing
  
      A {graph} search {algorithm} where the current
      path is extended with a successor node which is closer to the
      solution than the end of the current path.
  
      In simple hill climbing, the first closer node is chosen
      whereas in steepest ascent hill climbing all successors are
      compared and the closest to the solution is chosen.   Both
      forms fail if there is no closer node.   This may happen if
      there are local maxima in the {search space} which are not
      solutions.   Steepest ascent hill climbing is similar to {best
      first search} but the latter tries all possible extensions of
      the current path in order whereas steepest ascent only tries
      one.
