And the Number One Reply by Programmers when their programs don't work:
1. "IT WORKS ON MY MACHINE!"
I know someone who always say "Blame it to the Service Packs" when his code doesnt work.. i was trying to think on what is my favorite line but i cant figure it out... but i do remember that i had the fond of saying number 18 back in college everytime something blows up in my code. I guess thats the same reason why I am now a fan of unit testing! :)
Whats your line?
