    I find b'etor's absence from the thread significant.

    Either she is showing her disgust that such a question could even be posed or else plotting some coup de thread.

      And that's precisely why Ferengi are cooler. They're more cerebral a race.

      People like Klingons are typically your retarded geeks in full getup speaking the language.

        Not comparable. Klingons have been around significantly longer and the Ferengi language hasn't really been heard much.

          Except in the Ferengi "area 51" episode of DS9.

            Ferengi are cool, but even with their economic centered culture it is clear that even in that area the traditional ST empires are far more economically successful. And they don't "shine" in any other area.

              Top 20 things likely to be overheard if you had a Klingon Programmer:

              1. Defensive programming? Never! Klingon programs are always on the offense. Yes, offensive programming is what we do best.
              2. Specifications are for the weak and timid!
              3. This machine is GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I am to do battle with this code!
              4. You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
              5. Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
              6. 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.
              8. Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak. Bugs are good for building character in the user.
              9. I have challenged the entire ISO-9000 quality assurance team to a Bat-Leth contest on the holodeck. They will not concern us again.
              10. A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
              11. By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die!
              12. You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
              13. Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
              14. Our competitors are without honor!
              15. Python? That is for children. A Klingon Warrior uses only machine code, keyed in on the front panel switches in raw binary.
              16. Klingon programs don't do accountancy. For that, you need a Ferengi.
              17. Klingon multitasking systems do not support "time-sharing". When a Klingon program wants to run, it challenges the scheduler in hand-to-hand combat and owns the machine.
              18. Perhaps it IS a good day to die! I say we ship it!
              19. My program has just dumped Stova Core!
              20. Behold, the keyboard of Kalis! The greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!
              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                Bah. An episode featuring the universal translator. Don't get me started on the UT.

                  Ferengi, clearly

                    I think all episodes feature the UT...

                      Use, not feature. Although that one featured its lacking.

                      I just dislike the inconsistency of the universal translator. How certain phrases don't get translated and such. Minor stuff that shouldn't bother me, except that I'm a nerd without any other life. You know.

                        It bothered me whenever I thought about it also. But then I realized, hey, it's a TV show.

                            It also bothers me that all alien races are around the same height, and some alien races are so different from humans in that they paint their faces red.
