Floating Point Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words floating, point and/or numbers:

    Eftsoones the Nymphes, which now had Flowers their fill,
    Ran all in haste, to see that silver brood,
    As they came floating on the Christal Flood,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.
    Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
