Turing Machines have an infinite tape -- I'm glad you set us straight on that.

I think the computer science greats should have consulted you before writing their textbooks - I just looked at this crazy thing called a "turing machine" in one of my textbooks. A universal turing machine supposedly has an infinite tape attached to it. Maybe they are smart about computers, but they don't know anything about physics. I think all these textbooks need to be thrown out because they are obviously of no practical value. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
