      A good one, but my personal favorite is: I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone.

          My favorite: C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.

            That's my fave and I'm constantly reminded of it everytime I have to use a Taskmanage on my app to release resources to make a phone call

              An expert C++ programmer makes sure he takes out the marketing douchebag with the shrapnel.

                “Remember that much programming can be simply and clearly done using only primitive types, data structures, plain functions, and a few library classes. The whole apparatus involved in defining new types should not be used except when there is a real need.” Bjarne Stroustrup, "The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition"
