If you go to the same wikipedia article you snagged this exact quote from: The loom is controlled by punchcards with punched holes, each row of which corresponds to one row of the design. Multiple rows of holes are punched on each card and the many cards that compose the design of the textile are strung together in order.

You will see another iportant bit: Although it did no computation based on them, it is considered an important step in the history of computing hardware

No computation - no computer. The jacquard head blocks needle passages physically - it's not a program.

Look up the definition of computer, dumb @ss.

A computer is a platform for information processing. A “Language” is anything a machine can “read” and process.

You never actually read Turing, did you?

"Importance is often attached to the fact that modern digital computers are electrical, and that the nervous system also is electrical. Since Babbage's machine was not electrical, and since all digital computers are in a sense equivalent, we see that this use of electricity cannot be of theoretical importance."

Oh, and don’t try change the argument. the claim was “ this fag was ‘FOUNDER of computer sciences”

Not founder of algorithms, Perl, C++, etc. Stick to the FACTS.
