Well, that looks to me like programs for some analogue computers would not be programs and some hardware would be software and many other fun consequences. I'm sure it'd not be too long before other absurdities could be revealed. Have you actually programmed an analogue computer? You are changing the _hardware_ to make it do things, not software. Please, if you are not interested in continuing this disucssion, stop sending stupid remarks like these. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
