J.D.'s Law
(based on "I Fought the Law and the Law Won")

J.Dougherty, with help from CS101 Spring 2006
(Marc Adelberg, Charlie Rubin & Shane Hafer)

I learned in class about technology,
So complicated, so new to me,
But here on the path to Fluency,
I keep in mind the Law from ol' J.D.

"Failure is proportional to the size and importance of the project,
as well as inversely proportional to the number of backup copies
and to the time remaining."

Failure is SICT, or [F ~ (SI)/(CT)]

Testimonials:
The lab's due today and I've just begun.

I faught the law and the law won,
I faught the law and the law won.

Just finished my paper and thought that I was done,
Little did I know, I had just begun

I faught the law and the law won,
I faught the law and the law won.


Bridge:
I learned in school not to be a fool,
To get my project done.
If I just dive in there's no chance to win.
(If I dive in late then I've sealed my fate.)
I faught the law and the law won,
I faught the law and the law won.


It was Friday night and it was time for fun
On Saturday I'd get it done
No time for work though I had a ton

I faught the law and the law won,
I faught the law and the law won.

Bridge

No backup copies, I've just the one.

I faught the law and the law won,
I faught the law and the law won.
