/prog/ - No computer is turing complete.

All computers have a limit of how much data it can store. To be turing complete, the computer needs un-bound storage.

Prove me wrong.

Well, I use a finite state machine. So? I don't see any problem. I embraced my limited hardware long ago and I am happy together with my computer (who is a cute automaton). I have a fucking lot of states in and outside of current execution and I am pretty transitive and active.

But thanks anyway asshole. Go and use your Touring machine while I SWITCH from state to state.

Read the Wikipedia article on Turing completeness, then. Congratulations.

It is of course a theoretical model, and the infinite tape is just an analogy. You obviously don't really understand it well enough.

Using the world `obviously' in that context identifies you as an angry teenager.

protip: You are the only one on /prog/ that isn't an angry teenager

I'm a teenage, but I'm far from angry. I've read K&R, SICP, and all the Perl books, and have two jobs -- one hacking, and one conjuring the spirits of the computer with my spells. I'm actually quite content.

Using the non-standard /prog/ identifies you as someone who needs to go back to /b/, please.

Both Christopher and Xarn are people on /prog/ in their twenties, and the Sussman is in his sixties.

You just don't understand what `angry' in `angry teenager' actually means.

The old saying says that there are only 3 people on /prog/ - Me, You and The Sussman. That makes me Christopher, you Xarn and the third person, most obviously, The Sussman.
