Mathematically, computation is deterministic. The author dismisses or ignores the many ways that the physical apparatus driving the computation can force the result of a software application to be a function of time.

Calling GetTimeOfDay() could do it.

Clock frequency drift between multiple processors could it.

Therefore, unless P=NP, not all computations are deterministic.
