  Source code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In modern programming languages, the source code which constitutes a program is usually in several text files, but the same source code may be printed in a book or recorded on tape (usually without a filesystem).
The source code is either converted into an executable file by a compiler for a particular computer architecture, or executed on the fly from the human readable form with the aid of an interpreter.
A program's source code is not necessarily all written in the same programming language; for example, it is common for a program to be written primarily in the C programming language, with some portions written in Assembly language for optimization purposes.

 Programmers' & Academics' Amici Brief in NY MPAA DeCSS Case (Jan. 26, 2001)
Computer codes are text languages, as expressive as any text language, with dialects, grammar structures and nuances, and thus are entitled to the same level of First Amendment scrutiny as any natural text language, such as English.
So it is with most computer code: a human must give the command to interpret or compile the source code, and even if the code has been compiled as a binary executable file, a human must give the command to execute it.
With commendable candor, he readily admitted that the implication of his view that the spoken language and computer code versions were substantially similar was not necessarily that the preliminary injunction was too broad; rather, the logic of his position was that it was either too broad or too narrow.

 EETimes.com - IBM quantum computer solves code cracking problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The quantum computer was invented by IBM Almaden Research Center researcher Isaac Chuang, who led a team of scientists that included fellow researchers Gregory Breyta and Costantino Yannoni of IBM Almaden, professor Richard Cleve of the University of Calgary, and researchers Matthias Steffen and Lieven Vandersypen from Stanford University.
While a quantum computation starts and ends with information encoded in binary bits, the computation itself is performed in the mysterious realm of quantum mechanics, where a physical system can be in what is known as a superposition of states.
The biggest problem with quantum computers is that the quantum states must remain unobserved, or "decoherence" will spoil their ability to take on different values simultaneously and therefore disable them from solving problems in a single step.
