   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.
