Heh, this is one of the best things I've read in quite some time:

"This supports my guess that Google bought up a bunch of "big names" (Pike, 
van Rossum, etc.), then provided them with a sort of "early retirement 
community" where, instead of playing bridge or watching "Wheel of Fortune," 
they play around with computers all day. Occasionally they get trotted out 
for an internal "tech talk," but their productive careers are over."

Classic.

Every time I look at Go^H^HIssue 9, I can't help wondering why there's 
people out there who apparently assume that just because someone did 
something significant 40 years ago somehow implies they have the Midas 
touch.
