Did you miss his sarcastic undertone? Or are you fighting sarcasm with sarcasm?

When someone tells me I'm right, I take it at face value.
Besides, he didn't use the International Symbol For Sarcasm  so I must assume that he is actually saying I am right. That just seems right anyway.

Please people - instead of bagging others, look within yourselves.
You should, at all times, present the surface appearance of great depth.
And remember, the most important thing is sincerity - if you can fake that, then you've got it made.

You're doing it wrong!
The way to be successful at agile is to be an "agile coach". They get lots of money for saying 'blah blah blah'.
Being a software developer in agile will not yield any success.

What is now called "Agile", we used to call "The $%@#$! customers want some changes made to the product you just delivered to specs because they're morons who don't actually know what they want."

The terminology of agile drives me nuts!
I can't sprint for 10 yards (meters if you don't know what a yard is) let alone 2 weeks at a time!

Another reason why Agile probably works for teams which are going to experience a huge benefit ($,$$$,$$$) in the end, but not for corporate teams where your only benefit is the same whether you're agile or not.
If you knew you'd make $1 million after the sprint you'd probably do it, even if it meant your feet might fall off at the end. What's the motivation for Agile, if you're feet may fall off, but you have no possibility for benefit?
Answer: none.

Its sad when the process gets in the way of production and the tools make it difficult to do our job. Management wants to know how fast we are completing the project that having us, the programmers, enter the information into the tools reduces our productivity. Its getting to the point where the (agile) tool is the master and we must bow to it. If management would do what it is supposed to do (manage) and do it the right way (talk to your people), then relying on the tool would be so all encompassing.

So I'm trying to mount an ISO on Win 8.1 and get the error
Quote: You don't have permission to mount the file.
Hmmm. 1/2 hour later (after re-copying etc.) same issue.
Google takes me here[^]
tl;dr; If you have a removable drive connected you might get this message. The ISO still mounts - it just tells you it won't.
FFS MS SRSLY? This has been around for at least 3 years - you'd think they would fix it; (even if they changed the message to read "You may not have permissions to mount the file - but check - it might have been mounted!) it would save a bunch of people a bunch of time!
And these days, who doesn't have a removable drive attached?

I use the mounting feature of W8 since release. 
Really fine, but Windows looses the mount on a reboot . But hey - its only Microsoft 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Crazy. But, with MS, expected.
No, wait. With computers, expected behavior.

You are right?
Macs are so much better, because they have ONE BUTTON MICE. That way even though you could control the mouse with one hand, you are forced to use two.
That's Steve Jobs way of exerting control over you. "You're holding it wrong!"

You're about 20 years out of date - the new touchpad has no buttons at all - and I would gamble on the next mouse being the same

No buttons? No buttons? Touchpad? That's not even a mouse.

On the Apple external mouse you can click on the right part of the button and it behaves like a "right click". On the mousepad you can just click anywhere with two fingers.
Seems to work fine for me - I use PC's and Macs and find Macs are (after years of complaining about them) faster and easier to use for most things
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Oh, yeah. Then why hasn't microsoft stolen those ideas if they're so good? Yep, I got you on that one and I believe I've proven those are not good ideas, because if they were MS would've bought them out by now. (sarcasm icon)
EDIT: I'm expecting a plethora of upvotes on this one, people (and developers) so get your clicky fingers going on whatever type of mouse-all device you got over there. Now!
