      {Infinitive mood} (Gram.), that form of the verb which merely
            names the action, and performs the office of a verbal
            noun. Some grammarians make two forms in English: ({a})
            The simple form, as, speak, go, hear, before which to is
            commonly placed, as, to speak; to go; to hear. ({b}) The
            form of the imperfect participle, called the infinitive in
            -ing; as, going is as easy as standing.
  
      Note: With the auxiliary verbs may, can, must, might, could,
               would, and should, the simple infinitive is expressed
               without to; as, you may speak; they must hear, etc. The
               infinitive usually omits to with the verbs let, dare,
               do, bid, make, see, hear, need, etc.; as, let me go;
               you dare not tell; make him work; hear him talk, etc.
  
      Note: In Anglo-Saxon, the simple infinitive was not preceded
               by to (the sign of modern simple infinitive), but it
               had a dative form (sometimes called the gerundial
               infinitive) which was preceded by to, and was chiefly
               employed in expressing purpose. See {Gerund}, 2.
  
      Note: The gerundial ending (-anne) not only took the same
               form as the simple infinitive (-an), but it was
               confounded with the present participle in -ende, or
               -inde (later -inge).

   infant mortality n.   It is common lore among hackers (and in
   the electronics industry at large; this term is possibly techspeak
   by now) that the chances of sudden hardware failure drop off
   exponentially with a machine's time since first use (that is, until
   the relatively distant time at which enough mechanical wear in I/O
   devices and thermal-cycling stress in components has accumulated for
   the machine to start going senile).   Up to half of all chip and wire
   failures happen within a new system's first few weeks; such failures
   are often referred to as `infant mortality' problems (or,
   occasionally, as `sudden infant death syndrome').   See {bathtub

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   infinite adj.   [common] 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}.

   machine {spin}s or {buzz}es forever and goes {catatonic}).   There is
   a standard joke that has been made about each generation's exemplar
   of the ultra-fast machine: "The Cray-3 is so fast it can execute an

   Infinite-Monkey Theorem n.   "If you put an {infinite} number of
   monkeys at typewriters, eventually one will bash out the script for
   Hamlet."   (One may also hypothesize a small number of monkeys and a
   very long period of time.)   This theorem asserts nothing about the
   intelligence of the one {random} monkey that eventually comes up
   with the script (and note that the mob will also type out all the
   possible _incorrect_ versions of Hamlet).   It may be referred to
   semi-seriously when justifying a {brute force} method; the
   implication is that, with enough resources thrown at it, any
   technical challenge becomes a {one-banana problem}.   This argument
   gets more respect since {Linux} justified the {bazaar} mode of
   development.
  
      This theorem was first popularized by the astronomer Sir Arthur
   Eddington.   It became part of the idiom of techies via the classic
   SF short story "Inflexible Logic" by Russell Maloney, and many
   younger hackers know it through a reference in Douglas Adams's

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   infinity n.   1. The largest value that can be represented in a
   particular type of variable (register, memory location, data type,
   whatever).   2. `minus infinity': The smallest such value, not
   necessarily or even usually the simple negation of plus infinity.
   In N-bit twos-complement arithmetic, infinity is 2^(N-1) - 1 but
   minus infinity is - (2^(N-1)), not -(2^(N-1) - 1).   Note also that
   this is different from "time T equals minus infinity", which is
   closer to a mathematician's usage of infinity.
