I disagree - I have a rusting lump of metal in my garage that used to be a car, but now is a storage area for somewhat smelly hockey gear
.
What defines a car the the capability to convey someone from point A to point B by the combustion of fossil fuels (or other hybrid fuel technologies).
What defines a hockey gear storage area is it's ability to store smelly hockey gear (and not melt/spontaneously combust/throw up :eek: ).
It no longer has the capability of conveying me from point A to B, thus it is not a car. It DOES have the capability of storing smelling hockey gear, therefore it is a hockey gear storage area.
What defines a compiler is its ability to convert lines of code written by the programmer in to machine-executable commands. If it can't do that, it's just a waste of memory space
And if it's all about the intentions, then all bow down before me for I am the Master Code Guru of the Universe, the foremost genius of code, the programmer whom all programmers emulate and hope to one day achieve a glimmering of my ineffable talents :p
