computable

The property of a problem being solved by means of a Turing machine.

In other words, can we write a program to solve the problem? If so, then the problem is computable.

The sorting problem is computable. I can sort lists of things based on a common comparator.

The halting problem is not computable.

Computer

Similar to air conditioners. Works fine until you open up windows.

On second thought, air conditioners are better than computers.

Computer

A machine consisting of a processing unit, some form of memory, and peripheral devices for input and output. Used almost exclusively for updating Adobe Flash, updating Adobe PDF Reader, updating Java, and updating iTunes.

I have a lot of work to do on the computer today, my Adobe PDF Reader hasn't been updated since last night and my Java is nearly three days old!
