+10) Specifications are for the weak and timid!
+ 9) You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
+ 8) Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
+ 7) 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.
+ 6) Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments'
+ - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
+ 5) Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
+ 4) A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
+ 3) Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features
+ are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
+ 2) You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the
+ original Klingon.
+ 1) Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship
+ it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
