[geeks] Turing Machine...

That sounds like my idea to write a book with all possible pages inside it (60 lines of, say, 80 characters each, with all pages containing mal-formed words (aaaaaaardvark, for example) being elimiated. Each page would be automatically generated, and only those pages that included only valid words would be "assembled" into my final book.

Now that you have this book of pages, copyright it.

Then sue every author for works that are merely combinations of selected pages from your book of pages. ;^)

Hmm, if I were porting Doom to a Turing machine...lets see, the easy solution.
Infinite tape.   No limit on the symbols...Put ALL the POSSIBLE scenes from 
Doom on the tape...
and then MOVE the TAPE real, real fast (24 images a sec..) stare at one "place"
where the tape is moving underneath...and Vola, Doom on a Turing machine......

What display?  I don't need no stinking display...8-)


Earl.
