Gotta love google translate:

"Keeper of the fingers out of the machines, sit and bake Vatche the flashing lights!"

Although considering I actually understood what Walter said, I'm guessing it wasn't real German to begin with? :)

Sorry folks,

You have a missplacement bug here:

"ACHTUNG!" always comes first in German. It's to waken everyone up, reset the brain-memory, leveling the hearing and push up your Adrenalin level. Then comes the clear, short and to the point imperative Ansage: "Alle Java Programmierer haben sofort den Raum zu verlassen!"

Important here is, that the statement makes absolutly clear: I'm not going to discuss this with anyone.


And, there is a different version (no version modifier available):

"AAAAACHTUUUUNG!" is a famous one. But for this you need a rythm based compiler to get the real effect. Impotant here is, that the Konsonanten are spoken hard and short. It's like getting a slap in the neck. Than it's perfect.

Yes, sometimes it helps.

:-) That was a good one but it only supports regional linking.

The standard German way of linking is again (what a surprise)  a good use of Imperativ on a group of things. Also known as the "1000 Mann und 1 Befehl" pattern.

Just my 0,02 EUR

So people in the German army have to be able to read? I can't believe that ;-)
