Jeezum crow 'bot, gimme a few minutes. A person's gotta start somewhere! I've linked the page, and entered some stuff. wvbaileyWvbailey 18:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Deletion Tag

[edit]

Based on the work done on the article thus far, I don't think the original deletion tag applies anymore. The article still probably needs work, but shouldn't be subject to speedy deletion. --Bfigura (talk) 20:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Computers and Computors

[edit]

Gandy and Sieg etc. are actually using this "computor" to make a distinction, although I find it very confusing, myself. I can't remember whether a "computor" is a human-as-computer or is it a "computer"? -- i.e. the old use of the word from Turing's time ("computer" was a person who cranked numbers at a desk calculator). wvbaileyWvbailey 14:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kalmár's argument

[edit]

Shouldn't László Kalmár's argument be mentioned? Kalmar, L. 1959. 'An Argument Against the Plausibility of Church's Thesis'. In Heyting, A. (ed.) 1959. Constructivity in Mathematics. Amsterdam: North-Holland, pp.72-80.Kope (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with it. It would be an interesting addition; if you are familiar with it, go ahead and add it. BillWvbailey (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
