I have read someplace that programmers should learn a new programming language every year (I think it’s code complete, not sure, though), but if you cannot do so, I suggest to at least learn the following five programming languages to do great in your career. Top 5 reasons your eyes should roll today. You won't believe #6!
Scala? Scala?!

Just as well he specified programming language, because English is nowhere to be seen.

"I don’t want my programmer consuming a full day in Java to write a program to read CSV files or to grab a message from a TCP/UDP port."
"There are lots of python modules accessible that can do your job in a couple of minutes."
"you can write a UDP message listener in 5 minutes in Python as battled[?] to 20 minutes in Java"
"You should learn Java to create a strong, scalable server-side application." 
"The[?] C is still the most favored language for system programming" 
"Alicia Newman is a 29-year-old programming professor" 
Instant gratification pervades this article: let's hack something together yesterday. This may be reasonable coming from a prof, but nothing enduring is put together that way. It's all well and good for programming contests or getting homework done over the weekend, but for what's important in serious industrial applications, most of this is sheer bollocks.

They do sound like something someone who has not worked on a system that has a lot of technical debt would say.

Or even someone who has helped to create a lot of technical debt!

She places Scala as #5 not #6... LOL not to put too fine a point on it 
But, I'd replace Java with C# and Scala with F# and JavaScript with C++.

The #6 was an attempt at a joke (as it's past the list bounds). I guess I should have gone with a bigger number. (ah well, next time)

Personally, I like The C, it good and I write bits in the SQL because my database thingy speak that too and I no want it to be lonely. Sometimes I do The C-Sharp because it nice note on the piano and The F# because it leading note to G which I learn next week. Next week I gets PhD in computers and will be having jam and buns for tea.

Just don't mix The C with The F#. That would be satanic.

NASA is continuing to take steps to encourage companies to explore space station developments, both on the International Space Station and beyond. Paging Hugo Drax...

Because privatizing makes stuff cheap, like healthcare 
If it were halfway feasible to make money, someone would have tried. There's enough money without brains sloshing around in the system.

How many space stations do you plan to build? If stupid people could fly, it would be dark outside.

I think we could start with one, and then re-use it continously

But we would spare the space stations... we would just have to convince them to fly out of the atmosphere...
