Open Source Art?
gz writes "The Whitney has put online an exhibit where viewers are encouraged to examine the source code of the program that generates the art, despite the fact that the majority of viewers have no idea what the code means. Projects use Java, C, Perl, Lingo, and VB."
Huh?
come on fhqwhgads
"Blessed are the poor in threshold: for theirs is the Kingdom of the Page-Lengthening and Page-Widening Posts.
"Blessed are they that mourn the death of *BSD: for they shall be comforted with an ultradense Linux server from VA Linux, now sold by California Digital Corporation.
"Blessed are the posters of smug one-liners: for they shall inherit an Account Capped at 50.
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after The First Post: for they shall have the Third or Fourth Post.
"Blessed are the karma whores: for they shall obtain "Score: 5, Insightful".
"Blessed are those who dismiss out-of-hand: for they shall fail to see the Point of the Original Post.
"Blessed are those who seek to associate themselves with the latest techno-fad: for they shall be called 3L33T for at least Another Half Hour.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for their own self-righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of "Ask Slashdot".
"Blessed are the over-eager, who believe that Open Source is a social movement heralding the rise of a new generation: for they shall not realize that There Are No Sacred Cows.
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for the sake of your Favorite Operating System.
"Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD
Sorry, but it's "exceeding glad" in the King James Bible. If you are literate, you may try reading Matthew 5:12 at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/kjv.browse.html.
May He have Mercy on your Half-Witted Soul.

gz writes "It is now official: Slashdot will now post any stupidassed article if the phrase 'open source', or the terms GNU, Linux, LEGO, Microsoft, or Star Wars, are mentioned. Additionally Slashdot will now feature a live feed of news straight from The Register, the well-known propaganda site."
like the code? get the t-shirt
I get irritated if I don't have eyecandy to look at while I work. I've made several anime- and movie-themed wallpapers of various kinds. While not a program that generates art, I do make the photoshop files containing both 'borrowed' and original art available for others to modify.
I like to see this behavior, particularly in games like 'Freesim', where you can download and edit the tiles.
The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and slashdot the links early!
there aren't any paintings of a naked RMS or made out of gnu dung. Ain't RMS singing bad enough already?
