I don't know how many slashdot readers there are, but if you didn't see this article, it is great.

It is ironic that a reverence for silver bullets usually brings more pain to software organizations than if they had simply rolled up their sleeves, focused on traditional engineering activities, and accepted that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Postponement of effort, production of useless artifacts, and illusion of progress are just a few of the factors that result in big price tags when reality eventually trumps denial. Even in the absence of Fred Brooks's well-known admonitions, it is startling that the failure of past silver bullets to hit their targets is not enough to make us very wary of them today.
