Software Busting

I was browsing in Borders yesterday and couldn't help thumbing through a Mythbusters coffee table book. I found the following great quote:

Whenever an engineer builds something that's over-complicated, that's the mark of an inferior design. Simple is always better.

—Jamie Hyneman, Mythbusters

While you can't really rate Mythbusters for statistical significance, I think Jamie's on the button with this quote.
