This is a good time to illustrate that you can prove SOME programs can terminate. The halting problem doesn't limit you in proving that the following loop will halt or not:
for x in range(0,10):
x = x + 1
Microsoft research even had(has?) a program that attempts to prove functions that halt and they called in the Terminator.
