Because they can, you can't, and you will never understand it even given all the source code.

Also nice ascii art.

Its not educational, its b0w b3f0r3 m4h sk1llz!

I must also agree with one of the posts here... It is art. Its geek art but it really is art. Judges who say source code is not art should also admit michalengelo was just some asshole who put grafitti on some holy buildings.

I'm sorry, what?

Michelangelo's frescoes were commissioned. I utterly fail to see why anyone should admit they were graffiti.

The negatives confuse the sentence, but that was his point. Michelangelo's works were not graffiti, and similarly source code should be considered art, even if it is geek art.

I don't see the connection. One could maintain that source code is not art and that Michelangelo's works were not graffiti.
