Down voted for lacking a sense of humour. Seriously, why did you feel the need to explain at large that computers are deterministic when OP was clearly making a joke. (I know I'm probably going to get down voted myself but I had to vent off)
Having read the post you voted down, I don't think he/she was actually responding to my joke but to the concept I was quoting. He/she seems to be arguing against computers being entirely deterministic at all.
I wish there were a better/more formal way to quote things on HN as it can lead to confusion with attribution. Purely italic text doesn't quite cut it, but nor does the "source code" quoting feature.
