The top 12 things likely to be overheard if you had Klingon programmers
working for you:

12) Specifications are for the weak and timid!!

11) This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I
am to do battle with this code.

10) You cannot really apprecaite Dilbert unless you've read it in the
original Klingon.

9) Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!

8) What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software
'releases'. Our software escapes, leaving a bloody trail of designers
and
quality assurance people in its wake!

7) Klingon function calls do not have "parameters" - they have
"arguments"- and they ALWAYS WIN THEM

6) Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the
weak.

5) I have challenged the entire Quality Assurance team to a Bat-Leh
contest! They will not concern us again.

4) A TRUE Klingon warrior does not comment his code.

3) By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor of my family.
Prepare to die!

2) You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you
stand!

1) Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship
it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
