Quiet control, raptor left fastener?

A double clue.

QUIET - Mute
CONTROL - Button

Clue 2
RAPTOR LEFT - Mute (noun & verb, raptor poo)
FASTENER - Button

Maybe its rapt -completely fascinated by what one is seeing or hearing and thus silent?

I'm going to open a new company that makes denim clothing exclusively for developers.

I'm calling it "Data Britches".

Tagline: "Don't let it out in public".

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

but Connery is still alive, but it's been a while since he's been out in public AFAIK.

I don't know if you heard/read, but the character "James Bond" is on ice, indefinitely, in lieu of a new female character.

With that said, I rather disliked Roger Moore as James Bond.

Craig, Connery, the rest were garbage, IMHO.
