  1. Re:Asimov Short Story on When Computers Were Human · · Score: 1

    I was delighted to learn multiplication of double numbers using finger math as i'm sure many would be. To learn what is behind a sign, symbol, equation, or calculation is half the fun of using it.

  2. everything is art on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 1

    why bother attempting to link art to anything with evidence when it can be done with everything? in today's world, art is such an exapanding terms that a simple presentation can be part of it (one artist climbed up a ladder with razers on every step until he bled to prove some point about humanity's hunger to reach the top at any risk) - and if you consider the definition of 'a creation with a use and beauty' - the creation of sanitary conditions can be an art too (janitors are artists that clean in a free non-systematic way: the process is useful and makes the setting much more appealing). Some artists become famous not for their art directly, but for what their art stands for - hence if you can bring up a good explanation (of what a piece of art represents) that piece of art can be practically anythign from any field.
