It can be, much the same way architecture, woodworking, and say... graffiti can be consider art.

For most programmers, programming is simply a craft.

When aesthetics of the program or code are considered then it becomes art.

To know and not do, is not yet to know

Art doesn't take efficiency into account.

Writing code to solve a problem is not an art.

Writing a pleasing and usable user interface is an art.

I used to code in Fortran IV donkey's years ago. Was it art? If you're happy to define coding in Fortran like painting with shite, then yes, art? So be it.

If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Some of it could be called art and some garbage, guess it depends on who's writing it.

Just got this email, I had no idea we even knew each other or that I could protect anyone living in Oman. If anyone believes they are capable of protecting "Safia", I'll be more than happy to give you their email address; both of them, the one the email was sent from and the one they want me to reply to.

I greet you my Dear,

I am Safia Farkash Gaddafi wife of late Muammar Gaddafi. Currently we are on temporary asylum in the Sultanate of Oman after we left Algeria. There is something I want you to do for me. I believe you are capable to protect me. This must remain between me and you. I will open up to you when I hear from you.

yours sincere sister,
Safia Farkash Qaddafi
