Is Programming Art?

chromatic writes "A constant question for software developers is 'What is the nature of programming?' Is it art or science? Does creativity or engineering lead the design and implementation of a program? John Littler talked to several well-known and well-respected programmers (including Guido van Rossum, Andy Hunt, Bjarne Stroustrup, Paul Graham, and Richard Stallman) to find their answers; he shares their thoughts and his own in Art and Computer Programming." From the article: "What the heck is art anyway, at least as most people understand it? What do people mean when they say 'art'? A straw poll showed a fair degree of consensus--art is craft plus a special degree of inspiration. This pretty much explains immediately why only art students and art critics at a certain sort of paper favor conceptual art. Conceptual art, of course, often lacks a craft component as people usually understand the term."

    I truly enjoy my new life as a whore. My husband CmdrTaco has a collection of
    over 150 tapes of me with other men. He has sold copies of several of them.
    There's a couple of tapes that get the most requests and they are also the ones
    of the times I enjoyed best. One of the most popular tapes was made when I was
    gang fucked by six men. One of Cowboy Kneal's friends was supposed to come over to
    the house to fuck me. He showed up with four other men, all black, and they
    asked if they could all be taken that night! I told my husband that there was
    no way I could fuck six, big, black men all in one night! CmdrTaco told the men
    that I would only take two of them but the rest could watch and make an
    appointment for some other time. The men agreed and cut a deck of cards to
    settle who would screw me and who would watch.

    The two men who won the draw for for me paid my husband $200, each, and
    seemed very anxious to get started. They flipped a coin to see who would fuck
    me first. Cliff, a tall, heavy man, won the coin toss. I told him we could
    go to the bedroom and get started. I was wearing only my bra and panties and
    asked Cliff if he wanted to undress me or if he wanted me to strip for him.
    He didn't say a word when he came up to me and put his large hands on my bra
    covered tits. He squeezed my jugs for a few moments before unclasping my bra
    and pulling it off. After feeling my boobs and flicking the nipples with his
    index finger, he stripped naked. I looked down at the black man's stiff cock.
    It was large, like other black men's that I've fucked and it was as black as
    night.

    Cliff's hands went back to my tits. I held his cock with one hand and
    smoothed my fingers over the large cockhead with the other. He kissed me
    intensely for the next few minutes and then said, "Yeah, let's get to it baby!"
    The other five men standing around (six including my husband who was taping
    us), watched in silence while I peeled my panties off. I stood naked in front
    of everyone and said, "I can't wait to get that fat black cock in my pussy!" I
    started to get in bed when Cliff stopped me with, "Let's do it on the floor,
    baby. I can fuck a lot better down on the floor."

    I winked at the tall, black man and said, "You going to fuck me from
    behind, with your big black cock, Cliff?" He stared at my naked cunt,
    answering, "Yeah, baby! In back of your white ass! I'm ready to slide this
    black snake into that big white pussy of yours.!" I kept my eyes trained on
    Cliff's buddies as I kneeled on the floor and then went down on my forearms.
    My cunt was easily accessible from behind my ass and I knew all who were
    watching had a clear view of it. My tits hung to the floor, tickled by the
    shag carpet. When Cliff kneeled behind me, I asked, "Oh, Cliff, honey? Lick
    my pussy a little before you fuck me. Please, please lick my cunt, Cliff!" He
    lowered his head under my ass and I felt his tongue slide along the parting of
    my cunt lips. I arched my back to raise my ass even higher. Cliff's probing
    tongue managed to part my pussy lips and penetrate into my musky fuck hole. He
    went back to his kneeling position and I heard the other men saying "Man! Look
    at that pussy!" and "It's so big and fucking wet, man!" and "Yeah! She's ready
    for fuckin' OK!"

    When the black man's cockhead pressed at the opening to my cunt I peered
    over to the men watching and said, "Ooo! Yeah! He's gonna' fuck me now! With
    his big, black cock, he's gonna fuck my wet cunt, now! I love being watched
    while I get fucked!" Cliff gripped my ass and slid his hard dick into my
    waiting cunt. I moaned the entire time he fucked me! The angle that he had to
    my cunt, caused the top side of his long meat to glide along the parted cheeks
    of my ass. I could feel his cunt juice coated cock slipping along my asshole
    as he drove his dick up my twat.
