Someone mentioned the rule about every program eventually reading mail: 
here's the quote from my mirror of the Jargon file
http://220centeravesouth.org/Dan/Jargon/html/entry/Zawinski's-Law.html :

Zawinski's Law
"Every program attempts to expand until it
   can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced
   by ones which can."  Coined by Jamie Zawinski (who called it the
   "Law of Software Envelopment") to express his belief that all
   truly useful programs experience pressure to evolve into toolkits
   and application platforms (the mailer thing, he says, is just a
   side effect of that).  It is commonly cited, though with widely
   varying degrees of accuracy.

Just in case anyone still cared.
