Peter's Evil Overlord List. Quality, stating the obvious, all the things that an evil person does that usually causes their demise.

Some of my favourites:

I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman footsoldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.

Oh, lol

I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

Don't forget the really easy to use flash-like interfaces.

My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.

Every single action-hero movie has this.

When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop and grab a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.

What are yours?
