Personally I would take the word from an experienced computer programmer 
in computer programming than the words of a dictionary. White Flame is 
fairly experienced and I respect his authority as well as the legendary 
Jim Butterfield. I would take the word of an experienced authority who is 
in the field of computer programming to define computer programming.
