My position is that the ability for computer logic to cause a
machine to organize information in a way that assists its user is just as bit an
advancement in technology as the invention of a machine that picks cotton seeds
of of cotton fiber.
My position is the opposite. Logic is not
computer logic. it is logic and this is not technology.
That being
said, some measure of criteria needs to be used to gauge how software modifies
machine properties so that algorithms don't qualify for
patents.
My position is that software does not modify the machine
properties for several reasons. One of them is that software is
contents.
The distinction between software and contents must be
made. It's actually the structure of content that is mated with the software.
Obviously its not useful to try and manipulate gif structured images with
software designed for jpg data.
My position is there is no such
distinction. The gig, the jpg and the software are all contents.
I think you
are not the same anonymous person I was previously discussing with in this
thread. The points you are defending have all been refuted and the other
anonymous has agreed.
