No no no! :D
If you'd left out logical it would have been just fine :D
I'm not even going to give ridiculous logical proof with this assumption.. no I
will not..
..
assume inf is 1GB.. No!
Sorry, my wording was extremely poorly chosen.
What I meant was: if you start any logical reasoning based on the
"finite state space" of a real computer, this approach is very likely to
be of little practical value for a real world problem.
More explicitely: a brute force solution of the halting problem is
indeed theoretically possible for a finite machine, but it scales
exponentially in the memory size, resulting in a run time which is large
compared to anything that you could reasonably call "finite".
