My 1978 Land Rover Series III doesn't have a single computer! It's the mechanical equivalent of the GNU project.

You will always see a bevy of antiques on the road anywhere the roads aren't salted during the winter.

I'm in the UK!

In the south of the UK?

The middle at the moment. There's no point in owning anything with wheels larger than shirt buttons in the south.

I think the whole of the UK is opposite of the south of the US

For the person who downvoted me, have you ever lived in Slough?

By that token, asking RMS about cars in relation to his attitude towards computer would be akin to asking whether he lives in civilization or not, since everything from traffic lights to voting machines don't have open software at all. The category error is one of scale, not technical advancement.

Example of a category error (stolen from Ryle): you are handed both the left glove and the right glove, and you ask where the pair is. The pair is not a separate thing from the left glove and the right glove.

'Category error' does not mean a quantitative or scale difference at all.

Well... I still own (and use, once every couple weeks) a car that runs on ethanol and has an analog electronic injection. The radio is, most probably, its smartest part ;-)

It can be examined and changed, but it's not as easy as recompiling its engine.
