| Sorry, but if you haven't actually studied Computer science and Computational
theory and/or properly argue for your position, then your opinion is little more
than idle speculation, engineering degree notwithstanding.
This comes to mind. Your attempt at dismissing the arguments and viewpoints
here so simply, by alleging for example that it would be obviously bogus to a
three year old then, only betrays your own lack of understanding of the area,
and IMHO in no way invalidates in the slightest the arguments and viewpoints put
forward here. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You seem to think that two identical devices are different, simply based on the
instructions they have recieved.
Is a (specific make and model of) car driving to New York any different from one
driving to Chicago? Because that's all software is: a series of instructions.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

. . . one would expect such a technically-minded person to comprehend that a
computer running a program is doing EXACTLY what the computer was designed to
do: run software.
Your hypothetical 3-year-old would no doubt be delighted at someone taking
"Ishtar" out of the DVD-player in order to watch "Finding
Nemo" (as would most people, I suspect), but that disk-swap is not creating
a "new machine".
And neither is swapping out your Android apps on your telephone.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
