"Specifications are for the weak and timid!"
"This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors
if I am to do battle with this code!"
"You cannot really appreciate Dilbert until you've read it in the
original Klingon."
"Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your
skull!"

"Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' -- they have
'arguments' -- and they ALWAYS WIN THEM."
"Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the
weak."

contest. They will not concern us again."

"By filing this bug you have challenged the honor of my family.
"You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where
you stand!"
"Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it!
Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!"
