Freebsd Murphys Law

Real programmers don't play tennis or any other sport
that requires you to change clothes.  Mountain climbing is
O.K., and real programmers wear their climbing boots to work
in case a mountain should suddenly spring up in the middle
of the machine room.

Real programmers don't write in Pascal, Bliss, or Ada, or
any of those pinko computer science languages.  Strong
typing is for people with weak memories.

On a clear disk, you can seek forever.

Hollerith got us into this hole mess!

No major project is ever installed on time, within budgets,
with the same staff that started it.  Yours will not be the
first.

When things are going well, something will go wrong.
When things just can't get any worse, they will.
When things appear to be going better you have overlooked
something.

If project content is allowed to change freely, the rate of
change will exceed the rate of progress.

No system is ever completely debugged:  Attempts to debug
a system will inevitably introduce new bugs that are even
harder to find.

A carelessly planned project will take three times
longer than expected; a carefully planned project will
take only twice as long.

After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said
than done
