infinite loop
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for infinite loop - Next: Infinite-Monkey Theorem, Prev: infinite |
| :infinite loop: /n./ One that never terminates (that is, the machine spins or buzzes forever and goes catatonic). There is a standard joke that has been made about each generations exemplar of the ultra-fast machine: "The Cray-3 is so fast it can execute an infinite loop in under 2 seconds!" | |
