I really don't see how difficult it is to maintain the extra profiles feature. I think what it really comes down to is money. As of right now I have the 4 dvd plan. On that plan my wife has one of the four disc, I have the other three ( I'm greedy). With my current plan I'm paying: $23.99
Once they switch over in september if I still want to have a seperate queue for the wife I'll have to get: 3 disc plan at $16.99 1 disc plan at $8.99 coming to a grand total of: $25.98 which is 2 dollars more than I'm paying currently. And I'm sure with their huge customer base this adds up. Very much doubt if it has anything to do with programming.
But debugging and color coding, I'm not so sure... This argument reeks a little of a similar argument of the assembly programmer saying that higher level language programmers should learn what's under the hood. And this argument at one time was valid, but now seems a little insane. And I think the IDE argument is next to follow. Because I think languages are becoming inseperatable from their IDE, where one could go as far to say that the IDE is becoming part of the language.
for quite sometime i think. though i find it interesting that spider is the one to point it out. I've never felt him to be scifi, if anything he straddles the fence between the genre. but it is definitely a continue trend and the causes are still the same. i think one big thing is stale plot devices and poor character development. Its come to the point that when i want characters with depth i find myself leaning more towards fantasy. but i have found some nice middle ground like gene wolfe, jack vance,and china mieville.
Geez so there is documentation. I should have said very little Documentation and the majority of it kinda poor, and in comparison to other main stream languages it has virtually no documentation.
more popular in japan? my response is have the python Docs been translated to japanese? probable not, and there's your answer. :)
how many here are using ruby? There is Like no Documentation on it and most bindings are buggy... Maybe if Ruby got out there before Python It would be more widely Accepted.

with features like code completion.

or even scarier the hackers could try to port you to linux.
I'm not a lawyer or anything but isn't this illegal?
i agreed to the first contract, not the newly altered one.
