+ Laws of Computer Programming:
+ 1. Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
+ 2. Any given program costs more and takes longer.
+ 3. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
+ 4. If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
+ 5. Any given program will expand to fill all available memory.
+ 6. The value of a program is proportional the weight of its output.
+ 7. Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of
+ the programmer who must maintain it.
