Originally posted by twhitehead I disagree. Computer software is also stored on physical materials.
However, large parts of DNA should be thought of as data not software - it is blueprints for creating specific amino acids which are then used for building proteins.
Also the cell is not quite like a CPU which runs only one set of instructions at once, but rather does parallel processin ...[text shortened]... software should more correctly be thought of as being throughout the cell, not just in the DNA.
I don't no how but you must have misread what I said because we are in total agreement there! i.e. "I disagree" should be "I agree".

That is a coincidence. I also agree with twhitehead on that too. How could that be?

You'll see. It's like a punctuated equilibrium, I'm sure. First a few million posts
of much the same, but then... ah, yes, then things will happen fast. So don't
fall asleep now or you might miss it, in which case some fool no doubt will say
it never happened.
