7/3     lame-ass push/pop 50 year old question thread
        Re-pruned this thread due to folks still talking about it.
        \_ so as I was saying, no, it isn't provable.  at best, the push/pop
           is the same as the general purpose machine.
           \_ It is not "at best" the same.  A general purpose machine is a
           turing machine, which is strictly more powerful than a push-down
           stack machine.  Now shut up and go away.

7/3     lame-ass push/pop 50 year old question thread
        \_ The answer is no, because the general purpose machine can always
           do the push/pop nonsense, but may have other instructions that
           reduce memory usage that push/pop can't do.  So, at best, the
           push/pop can only match the general purpose machine but never
           beat it .  push/pop is a subset of the functionality of the
           general purpose machine.   Now stop posting silly shit.
        \_ it LOOKED like a good question, but upon further inspection, it
           became clear that the poster was a moron.
