If my (brain) memory serves... Turing Machines can emulate other Turing Machines (search for theorems on your favorite CS book), the only problems are (ram) memory and speed.
My recent (2002) cell phone "crashes" once a week, in this case it's a software problem (not that new isn't it?). I also have a digital watch that "crashes" sometimes, not that often, but at least once a year (software again). {Douglas Adams said something about digital watches...:-)}
But in general I agree (with this "sense of degradation") also for non-software appliances, manufacturers tend to make us buy new things over and over...:-(

...are a way of displaying pictures associated with time, the fact that someone will have to pay royalties to MS for things like these:

We have done the same thing in Italy:

Alas, it's only in Italian (because it's targeted at our market), may we ask for volunteers for the translation? (it is FDL)

... are a better idea: search on Google,
there are many (proto) implementations.
The basic idea is to create dynamic folders
in which files appear only if they meet
semantic criteria.

After reading this post I went to Samsung site
(I have a ml1250 printer, not yet configured
for linux) in search for drivers...
There is a *linux* driver, and it is an EXE file!
After the first shock/amusement I downloaded
the file anyway and discovered that it is
a standard zip file with a bad name... phew.
I also multitask because I have to wait
:-)
for things to happen (specially if you are
using Win*)
But if I multitask while waiting I'm
loading the PC with more tasks so that
it will let me wait LONGER!
I've "developed" a solution: I use two
PCs on my desktop so that I can multitask
without delaying the previous task
I'll probably end up with a rack of PCs
with a Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor switcher...
:-)))
