 >  Any given program, once running, is obsolete.

 To me, this thought appears to be nothing more than a poor joke,
 one created, perhaps, by a frustrated programmer.  Why would a
 program be obsolete the moment it begins to function?  If the
 program is running, and running properly, maybe it's the programmer
 that becomes obsolete, his or her services no longer needed
 as pertains to that program.  I see the above thought along with
 a number of observations put forth as "Murphy's Laws," and
 corollaries, as a source of undesirable negativity.  It just
 seems to me that lines such as the one above are a form of
 programming.  They're repeated over and over as taglines and
 "thoughts for the day."  One wonders if there couldn't be more
 positive, uplifting statements used for such "programming."
