By your argument no computer can execute an entire program, therefore no
software patent is ever infringed because no machine can execute all the steps
in the patent.
Instructions are executed billions of times per second. Each instruction changes
the computer somehow. The clock ticks, some bits is changes and the count of
seconds on the screen is incremented. I type on the keyboard, a new machine is
made at each keystroke.
None of these computers infringe on the patent. They don't last long enough to
infringe.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you move the gearshift in the car/truck, the machine
has changed, but it is NOT a new machine. If I display
new images on a display, the display has changed, but it
is NOT a new machine. The fact that there are changes
are part of the design of the machine. These changes are
what make the machine useful. These changes do NOT make
it a new machine.
I daresay you would be hard pressed to find a useful
machine that did NOT undergo some changes as part and
parcel of it being useful. But by your crazy reasoning
every change in the machine makes it a new machine.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"There is a new icon on the display" is equivilent to: "Oh look,
my car is
currently in fourth"[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
