Richard certainly believes in the continuum hypothesis and means by "number" (as every linux specialist) the cardinality of the continuum. How to draw all these points? The answer is 42.

But joke aside, Mark W. begun to built into the engine computations and comparisons with 'infinity' (cardinality of natural numbers, see "This week in LC #8").

I'm curious about the future dictonary entries to infty -- not that easy to explain, that 2*infty = infty or infty - 1 = infty.
