OK, this one gets my vote. Because you're right. Everyone says "agile". It launches you into a discussion of the whole process as practiced. It lets you find out how they treat schedule slips, how they deal with variation in skill and work completion rates, and a whole bunch of workplace issues.

Marc Clifton wrote: Do you use source control
This one's a must. When I joined a reputed firm some times back I took source control for granted. But after I joined, they informed me that the client on whose project I'll be working was not paying for the source control hence there's no code backing mechanism (forget the versioning)!!
So then how did they take backups? They usually put there codes on other peoples machine even if they had nothing to do with its development! In that way if tomorrow my machine crashed, I could take the code from any of the other person. (There was no dearth of options )
The end result: There were source codes everywhere. We even put them on the machine of the QA guys. We stored the zip files in the QA server of the client (as the devs didn't had access to the prod servers ).
If anybody feels like avoiding this sort of situation, please ensure they have source control for your project.

Wow. That should simply be something the company pays for, not the client!

Questions should not be asked in interviews at all. Answers are so prejudicial to the interviewer's opinion!

I would be dependant on the type of position, see Marc's reply for a permanent but a contractor will be focussed on completely different priorities.
Does you development environment conform to my standards! This then leads into number of screens, office type, source control, VS version, admin rights and internet access.

Would it be better if I moved to a third world country, and lived below poverty so you could pay me less?

Tell me why you deserve me.

Have you ever used this line? I could very easily see this coming off as conceited or condescending.

Not quite in those words, but treating the interview as a two way street - I want to know if this job suits me just as much as the reverse - helps me be more confident in interviews.

Totally agree. That question would make me feel as if I'm being confrontational though.

Said with a relaxed smile it can change the direction of the interview.

"No comment"
The first word in the acronym is "Cryptic" - so no clues will be forthcoming until after the third hour, assuming it is unsolved first (I'm betting it will be!)
