Intelligent people do not need the kind of rubberstamp advice you find in self-help books. As long you remain honest, open and calm, you are very well off. Not doing stupid thing like playing WoW (ATTN! compare to watching football with you buddies and sipping beer) through your anniversary helps, too.
a) hot water was NOT a luxury 10 years ago. b) broadband internet is NOT available for most of the territory outside major cities. c) telephone network was in very poor condition 10 year ago, indeed. i started using FidoNet back in 1992 and it was a real mess for next few years. today, it's much better.
for me, this is typical overdramatic artice from foreign media.;-)
Your boss has read too much marketing babble, lots of sexy-sounding buzzwords look exactly like that.
Some of the features listed here (IDE, GUI) are not integral part of any language that is sufficently widespread for large scale commercial development.
Some are outright bad (multiple inheritance, even operator overloading) and should be avoided. Multiple inheritance is THE way to mess up your class model, MI and "advanced" OO design cannot be mixed without trouble.
If we look at the other points brought out, I'd recommend Java and/or C++ (yes, it's sometimes useful not to limit your projects to a single language).
