It's practically infinite... In order for it to be truly infinite we're need infinitely long URL's. But for all intents and purposes they're infinite, because 10^19 would equate to every person on earth making 1,461,879,944 links.

Then that'd be too many IMO.

That's the point: Youtube's system can deal with absolutely unreasonable amounts of videos, so they won't ever run into a situation where their technology stops working (they just need to add more hardware). If Youtube was built to handle a million videos or two or ten, then there would come a day when they'd run into trouble.

Edit to add:You mean arbitrarily long. URLs of infinite length are ones that literally don't stop, ever, and appear only as a theoretical construct in theoretical computer science. Last edited by Cochrane; 18-04-12 at 17:45. |

No, you still didn't give the exact number with all digits corresponding to "pi".
Anyway, I owe you a hug and a smile for a sentence of a post yours few days ago. Then I forgive you the physical impossibility that exists to write the whole number "pi" with all its digits. So we are tied because of my kindness. |
