The probability of a hardware failure disappearing is inversely proportional to the distance between the computer and the customer engineer.
Any cool program always requires more memory than you have and when you finally buy enough memory, you will not have enough disk space.
Along that line. You will always find what you are looking for in the last place you looked.
The shortest distance between any two points is always under construction.
