                      The First Commandment of Technology.

                      The Commandments of Technology:

                      Thou shalt read the fucking manual.

                      Thou shalt treat technology with care and love.

                      Thou may covet thy neighbor's technology, but thou shalt not steal it.

                      Write “Qt”, not “QT” (QuickTime).

                        The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it's too late.
