Top 10 things likely to be overheard from a Klingon Programmer:
---------------------------------------
  10) "You cannot really appreciate 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-Leth
     contest. They will not concern us again."

  4) "A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!"

  3) "By filing this SPR you have challenged the honour of my family.
     Prepare to die!"

  2) "You question the worthiness of my compile? 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!"
