Yup. Every single software patent basically boils down to "make the computer do X." Software simply shouldn't be patentable just like any other artwork. I can't patent my short story (because I'd be patenting "using words on paper to tell a story"), why should I be able to patent my program ("using words in a text file, make the computer do something")? The absurdity of American (and other countries') law is just fucking sickening.
