The idea that we cannot value the welfare of computers seems ludicrously naive and misinterpretative.
I am always up for being ludicrous :-P
So, what is the welfare of a computer? Does it involve a well-regulated power supply? Good ventilation in a case? Is overclocking an example of inhumane treatment?
Or maybe you want to talk about software and the awful assault on its dignity by an invasive debugger...
