I was going through the web for Murphy’s law. I encounter few interesting once which I realized my self by working with computers. I have listed them below.
- Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
- Any given program will expand to fill all the available memory.
- 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 probability of a hardware failure disappearing is inversely proportional to the distance between the computer and the customer engineer.
- Disks are always full. It is futile to try to get more disk space. Data expands to fill any void.
- No matter how good of a deal you get on computer components, the price will always drop immediately after the purchase.
- 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.
- The hard drive on your computer will only crash when it contains vital information that has not been backed up.
- The best way to see your boss is to access the Internet.
- An expert is someone brought in at the last minute to share the blame.
- For any given software, the moment you manage to master it, a new version appears.
- Most computer errors can be attributed to a similar problem – a screw loose behind the keyboard.
- Whenever you need a crucial file from the server, the network will be down.
- The probability of forgetting your password is directly proportional to the frequency of changing it.
- Failure is not an option, it’s included with the software.
- It’s not a bug, it’s an undocumented feature.
- Bugs mysteriously appear when you say, “Watch this!”
- The probability of bugs appearing is directly proportional to the number and importance of people watching.
- If a project is completed on schedule, it wasn’t debugged properly.
- The troubleshooting guide contains the answer to every problem except yours.
- No matter how big a hard drive you buy, you’ll need to double it in a year.
- Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
- A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years make.
