lunatech's immutable laws of life

rshekhar@rshekhar$ dict hypothesis 
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
  hypothesis
       n 1: a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations
       2: a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that
          is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain
          facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives
          experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he
          proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted
          in chemical practices" [syn: {possibility}, {theory}]

Here are some of my hypotheses, tentatively named lunatech's immutable laws of life

All new PHP programmers want to write a content management system
All new Java programmers will write a chat client
All college students love complexity and will do everything to increase it (at least the amount of complexity in their lives)
All college students want to do a project in 'networking'

LOL that's good. When I first started dabbling with PHP in June '99, my intention was only to use it because I was having huge troubles with Perl. Almost immediately, I was like "oh, I could make a nice little template system using GET requests".

Do you have any hypothesis about AJAX people? That seems to be the new buzz these days.

Luckily I have not been around enough ajax programers to make any good observations about them

Where from this sudden thoughts? Working with any interns on any projects?

Nothing like that. These thoughts had been in my head for quite some time now, but after discussing it with Pankaj and Gopal, I think it would be better to put them down in writing

It should've been "hypotheses" (plural).

Corrected. Thanks

1. Hmmm No. Most 'New' php programmers are unaware of a CMS.
2. This should be known as the Java Axiom or something!
3. Ahh the days when I fell in love with COM

4. Why the f**k they wanna do that is beyond my comprehension!

point 4 can be derived from point 3. Networking is so complex (since it requires quite a lot of pieces of sofware and hardware to work in tandem), that it is almost magic. Since they are drawn towards complexity - they want to work in 'networking'
