Michel Foucault

The frontiers of a book are never clear-cut: beyond the title, the first lines, and the last full stop, beyond its internal configuration and its autonomous form, it is caught up in a system of references to other books, other texts, other sentences: it is a node within a network.

French Historian

Brian Greene

In any finite region of space, matter can only arrange itself in a finite number of configurations, just as a deck of cards can be arranged in only finitely many different orders. If you shuffle the deck infinitely many times, the card orderings must necessarily repeat.

American Physicist

Kevin Mitnick

Security is always going to be a cat and mouse game because there'll be people out there that are hunting for the zero day award, you have people that don't have configuration management, don't have vulnerability management, don't have patch management.

American Businessman

Sharon Salzberg

I had a very turbulent and painful childhood, like many people. I left for college when I was 16 years old and up until that point I'd lived in five different family configurations. Each one ended or changed through a death or some terrible loss.

The Toothbrush mustache is the most powerful configuration of facial hair the world has ever known. It overpowers whoever touches it. By merely doodling a Toothbrush mustache on a poster, you make a political statement.

American Writer

James Comey

With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton's personal e-mail domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked.

We have seen a major decomposition of French political life, of the old political mainstream parties, and what we see now is a real new configuration which is emerging between the patriots and the new liberals.

French Politician

George Steiner

The journalistic vision sharpens to the point of maximum impact every event, every individual and social configuration; but the honing is uniform.

American Critic

Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA.

Success is often built on the shoulders of failure - from which new configurations emerge.

Refers to the positioning of objects or elements in a space.

Physical Arrangement

The setup can reflect purpose, indicating how something might function or be used.

Functionality Intent

Involves the combination of technological components that work together.

Technology Systems

Different configurations can affect the performance of software or hardware.

Performance Impact

Describes how atoms are specifically arranged within a molecule.

Atom Placement

Molecular configurations can determine a substance's characteristics.

Chemical Properties

Refers to the layout of celestial bodies visible from Earth.

Sky Patterns

Some cultures believe celestial configurations influence human affairs.

Astrological Beliefs

 they are two completely different substances, and they behave completely differently inside of us. The configuration on the left is called CIS, which you've probably never heard of. The one of the right is called TRANS, and you probably have heard of trans fats before. They don't go rancid, they're more stable during deep frying,

 at the ancient game of Go. Now, at least to me, there are two things that really stand out about the game of Go. One is that as you're playing the game, the number of configurations that the board can be in is essentially infinite. There are actually more possibilities than there are atoms in the universe. So what that means is,

 In reality, white light includes wavelengths that correspond to all the different colors we can see. Our perception of white light is wrong and oversimplified, but good enough for us to function. Likewise, the brain’s model of the physical body keeps track of the configuration of our limbs,
