Murphy's computers laws
*Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
*Any given program costs more and takes longer each time it is run.
*If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
*If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
*Any given program will expand to fill all the available memory.
*The value of a program is inversely proportional to the weight of its output.
*Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer who must maintain it.
*Bugs will appear in one part of a working program when another 'unrelated' part is modified.
*The subtlest bugs cause the greatest damage and problems.
*A hardware failure will cause system software to crash, and the customer engineer will blame the programmer.
*A system software crash will cause hardware to act strangely and the programmers will blame the customer engineer.
*Undetectable errors are infinite in variety, in contrast to detectable errors, which by definition are limited.
*Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
*Make it possible for programmers to write programs in English, and you will find that programmers can not write in English.
*The documented interfaces between standard software modules will have undocumented quirks.
*The probability of a hardware failure disappearing is inversely proportional to the distance between the computer and the customer engineer.
*A working program is one that has only unobserved bugs.
*No matter how many resources you have, it is never enough.
*Any cool program always requires more memory than you have.
*When you finally buy enough memory, you will not have enough disk space.
*Disks are always full. It is futile to try to get more disk space. Data expands to fill any void.
*If a program actually fits in memory and has enough disk space, it is guaranteed to crash.
*If such a program has not crashed yet, it is waiting for a critical moment before it crashes.
*No matter how good of a deal you get on computer components, the price will always drop immediately after the purchase.
*All components become obsolete.
*The speed with which components become obsolete is directly proportional to the price of the component.
*Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
*The maintenance engineer will never have seen a model quite like yours before.
*It is axiomatic that any spares required will have just been discontinued and will be no longer in stock.
*Any manufacturer making his warranties dependent upon the device being earthed will only supply power cabling with two wires.
*A failure in a device will never appear until it has passed final inspection.
*Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
*A program generator creates programs that are more buggy than the program generator.
