The most exciting phrase
to hear in science, the one that
heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but
"That's funny..."
Isaac Asimov
Murphy's Laws of Computing
- When computing, whatever happens,
behave as though you meant it to happen.
- When you get to the point where
you really understand your computer, it's probably
obsolete.
- The first place to look for
information is in the section of the manual where
you least expect to find it.
- When the going gets tough, upgrade.
- For every action, there is an
equal and opposite malfunction.
- To err is human... to blame
your computer for your mistakes is even more human,
it is downright natural.
- He who laughs last probably
made a back-up.
- If at first you do not succeed,
blame your computer.
- A complex system that does not
work is invariably found to have evolved from
a simpler system that worked just fine.
- The number one cause of computer
problems is computer solutions.
- A computer program will always
do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you
want to do.

foresee the inevitable, and although
problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are
not.

Science Fiction
Isn't it interesting
that the same people who laugh at
science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists?
