	If you're going to the software end...

		Murphy's law is a crutch used by incompetents

The first one I used to have up on my cube wall at Bell labs.
Pissed everyone off except Dan the Genius.  The dumb asses
thought software tools were going to save them from having to
think, develop real skill, and grow a pair.  I used to love

Actually, I had all of Brandt's laws on my wall too.  Pissed the
squeams off even more. :) :) :)
