C#, and Python are relatively simple languages; C++, Perl, and Ruby are a little more complicated. Each of them can be learned in a week or two by a competent CS Graduate.
When I graduated, I knew C, and a little C++. i'm now 6 years into my career and i've done professional projects in C, C++, C#, Java, and Python. I've played with Lisp and Perl on the side for fun.
Theory is important, not implementation. New languages are being invented constantly. Old ones are still useful. Keep up.
Readability? if you graph 3 lines on the same plot, they are easier to read if they are in different colors. This is the only use-case i can come up with.
You missed my point... If a cheaper option is available, then it's the consumer's job to find it. It's NOT the Megacorp's job to show it to the consumer.

Did anyone actually play Crysis? I thought that was just a benchmark.
Correct, it is not new. Not exactly sure what you mean by "not useful" though.
He means the ability to patent the process is not new or useful. He was not speaking about the process which, while not new, is useful.
I actually like gnome shell *ducks*
Seriously. it's simple. it stays out of the way.

So uhhh....parity?
This. If my company banned my cellphone, my resume would be posted within 24 hours.
Hire better devs. They cost more; it's worth it.
In my engineering classes, there were usually about 30 Men and 1 or 2 women. The women were no more or less competent then the men.
Draw whatever conclusion you want from this observation.
This problem is easy to solve! We just need meta-meta-reviews!
To play devil's advocate here -
My wife uses a package called EndNote, which is a word extension which accomplishes the same task as BibTex.
Other then that, spot on!

Nope...there's karma here too.
since i don't respect zombies.
Or grammar.
Yup. they are.
DRM that works well isn't so bad
it's when it doesn't work that screws us
you could in theory make .debs that just contain scripts to pip or cran or cpan or whatever...
that's one solution.
Grumble Grumble Grumble Republicans!
hint...all politicians are corrupt, not just the ones who aren't promising you what you want.
Or you produce and maintain open source drivers, and work towards those drivers being included in mainline
Another approach...
It's been done. A lot.

Probably not, but maintaining a smartphone OS doesn't mean you want to be a carrier. For instance
Microsoft
Apple
Nokia
Samsung
Palm/HP
All produce (or produced...) smartphone operating systems. None are (or were) carriers. This would be an off-pattern move.
