In Response To: Infinite loops (playBunny)

Your argument not that far off. Any infinite loop, at least as I understand the term, is uniquely determined once you specify a single iteration of the loop, and a single iteration is fully described by a finite sequence of characters from a fixed-size alphabet. So there can only be countably many of them.
