The Tao of Programming, Book 4, Section 1:
Quote:

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity.

A program should follow the `Law of Least Astonishment'. What is this law? It is simply that the program should always respond to the user in the way that astonishes him least.

A program, no matter how complex, should act as a single unit. The program should be directed by the logic within rather than by outward appearances.

If the program fails in these requirements, it will be in a state of disorder and confusion. The only way to correct this is to rewrite the program.

Ya know, I was in wal-mart yesterday and I decided to just look through the games section. And they still have MOO3 for $49.95! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif I thought about taking it over to someone and letting them know I can get it basically for free on the internet but decided not to. But I noticed they still had a full shelf of the game so it looks like no one was buying it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

You know its not the price of buying it, thank god I had a good friend tell me all about it and I was not duped into buying it. Money doesnt mean as much to me as time. Time in buying it, installing it, playing it for at least a decent amount of time, and feeling ticked off. Yea money is not as important as my time.
