	Visual formatting model
		The 'position' and 'float' properties determine which of the CSS 2.1 positioning algorithms is used to calculate the position of a box.
		The line boxes to the right of the float are shortened due to the float's presence, but resume their "normal" width (that of the containing block established by the P element) after the float.
		When the property is set on floating elements, it results in a modification of the rules for positioning the float.

		The trick is to maintain the float's density to match that of seawater as the float moves.
		Floats are thus a good platform for measuring turbulent properties near the ocean surface where surface waves usually corrupt the measurements.
		The float is positioned a few times a day using the long range RAFOS system (the big fl cylinder on the top of the float is the hydrophone).

		Float is created when a Reserve Bank credits a bank for depositing a check but has not yet collected funds from the bank upon which the check is drawn.
		As a result of this legislation and greatly improved check processing efficiency, float was reduced to a daily average of $2.5 billion in 1982, down about 60 percent (in nominal terms) from the 1979 level.
		By 1985, float was reduced to a daily average of $820 million, down almost 90 percent from its 1979 level.

	Salinity Profiling ALACE float main page
		These autonomous floats have the advantage that once deployed, no ships or people are required on site to obtain the measurements.
		After the float is deployed, it sinks to the depth for which it was ballasted and drifts with the currents at that depth for a pre-programmed period of time.
		Some of the newer floats are programmed to collect data as they descend, and then actively maintain a target depth while they drift- these are called "parking" floats.

	CSS Float Html Tutorial
		The Float property can be applied to most html elements, though in practice, it is used most often to float images thus allowing text wrap.
		And of course, a floated image allows text wrap and imparts a more organic feel—the image becomes essential to the text and vice versa.
		Floats flow along with text, adjusting to the available viewport's width, height and resolution, with little restraint but the most basic instruction of float:left or float:right.

		Float is the difference between the amount of checks written and deposited according to your own books or records, and the amount of those checks or deposits that have cleared your bank account.
		For example, you may need to use float to take advantage of a supplier's trade discount, or to make other payments that need to be made immediately.
		The key to making float work in your favor is to accelerate your cash inflows and delay your cash outflows.

	FLOAT BUILDING
		The first step in planning any float is to thoroughly read all of the information concerning entry fees, deadlines, transporting the float, parade rules and regulations and most importantly, safety requirements.
		If your float is for a specific event, check with the Parade Chairman for the theme so that you can decide on an appropriate design for your float.
		However, most floats are built on trailers that are 8 feet or less in width to allow for travel to and from the parade route.

		The size of a float is platform-dependent, although a maximum of ~1.8e308 with a precision of roughly 14 decimal digits is a common value (that's 64 bit IEEE format).
		At every operation that wii involve floats, ask yourself "what will happen in the real world if I get a fraction of a cent here" and if the answer is that this operation will generate a transaction in integer cents, do not try to carry fictional fractional accuracy that will only screw things up later.
		While the author probably knows what they are talking about, this loss of precision has nothing to do with decimal notation, it has to do with representation as a floating-point binary in a finite register, such as while 0.8 terminates in decimal, it is the repeating 0.110011001100...

		Think about information float (this is what Beck is speaking about): if you go back just a few centuries, it took, for example, almost a century for the knowledge about the smelting of iron ore to cross one continent.
		But, now, *float* was a lag between when something supposedly happened to when it actually happens, and, in particular, the advantage somebody can have from the in-between state.

	Curing Float Drops and Wraps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Floats are a great way to create layouts with multiple “columns”: they allow blocks to be taken out of the normal flow, where they would just be stacked top to bottom, and positioned beside each other instead.
		IE incorrectly allows floats to displace the entire static block, not just its inline content, so this is why the lack of a margin only appears to cause a float drop in standard compliant browsers.
		float wrap instead, so make sure you wrap your floats in a container that is big enough to hold them all on one line.

	Howstuffworks "Why can boats made of steel float on water when a bar of steel sinks?"
		The standard definition of floating was first recorded by Archimedes and goes something like this: An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
		It is this upward water pressure pushing on the bottom of the boat that is causing the boat to float.
		Each square inch (or square centimeter) of the boat that is underwater has water pressure pushing it upward, and this combined pressure floats the boat.

	Float Layouts @ The Autistic Cuckoo
		When we float an element it is shifted to the right or to the left until it reaches the edge of the containing block.
		If we then float another element nearby in the same direction, it will be shifted until its edge reaches the edge of the first floating element.
		The inner container itself is thus floating to the left and occupies almost all of the outer container's width – except for the margins, of course.

	A Stamp of Approval to Mega-Float Airport Feasibility
		Mega-Float is characterized by features that include being unaffected by earthquake, having few environmental impacts on ocean currents and marine eco-systems, being able to be constructed at low cost and in a short period of time independent of ocean depth and ground condition, and also earmarking the possible use of its immense internal spaces.
		Furthermore, Mega- Float is expected to supplement current construction technology on land filling and other construction as a new technology that can be applied to many fields.
		Mega-Float was a focus of constant attention in regards to the feasibility of housing airport facilities on its foundations, particularly for metropolitan cities that typically require large airports, but only have limited construction space.
