 know which POSIX APIs to use when you can't do what you want with the Cocoa wrappers.
It also implies that you should know Unix to some non-trivial extent as well.
Depends on the language/individual.
If I'm a C# place and someone with JAVA/J2EE experience applies, I'll give'm a shot. The syntax between C# & JAVA isn't THAT different. Coding is coding and I figure once they get accustom to some of the differences they'll be fine.
Same goes from JAVA -> C#.
Now, if you were a C# person and you apply for a C++ job I want to see experience. There are too many differences.
While I think the OP is dead on about how a programmer who is experienced with many paradigms can easily add one more, it all comes down to the employer's aversion to risk. A potential hire who is not familiar with their tools is a wild card; they could be really great, but they could also be a flop, and it will be harder than normal for the interviewer to tell the difference if they cannot ask in depth questions about the technologies they use.
I am definitely not saying this is the correct way to look at this, but it is how some employers do.  Programmers can exploit this as well though, by avoiding employment with employers who are so ill-informed. After all, who wants to work for a place that systematically makes bad hiring decisions?
In part this is about HR throwing buzzwords into a job description since they don't really understand the role. It's why you'll occasionally encounter the comical situation of a job description specifying 3 years of experience in a technology that's only existed for 6 months.
As for whether or not it should make a difference, that really depends on the role and the individuals involved. Just about all managers doing hiring (certainly all smart ones) will instruct HR to pass them candidates that have a lot of strength in most areas even if they are lacking in one or two bullet points in the job description. However that generally doesn't apply to a recent graduate; I'm talking about like people with lots of great work experience interacting with clients or leading teams or something.
Have you ever looked at all the elements that make up your development stack? For example, what IDE, testing framework, continuous integration, version control, development methodology, and code paradigms that make up an environment that someone uses to create software. This can be a number of tools that some companies may want someone to already know rather than have to pick up from scratch. ironcode's point about an employer's market is another factor here as there may be some cases where there is a lot of competition for a position and so companies can aim for the sky and possibly get it.
Just to give a more concrete example about that environment, here's what I have where I work: Visual Studio 2008 doing ASP.Net using C# mostly, nUnit, Cruise Control.Net, Subversion, Agile/Scrum, with a blend of procedural, OO, and functional depending on where one is looking. If I wanted to switch over to Java, this may mean getting used to new tools for a lot of these functions that may not be what an employer wants to absorb as a cost of hiring me in that role. There can also be some tricky points that those with experience in that version may know better than others and avoid some pitfalls that may otherwise make someone go, "Why did they build it that way?"
No, look. These requirements aren't put together by the IT guys. They're put together by the HR people. And the way the HR people get the requirements is by shouting questions at the IT people as they stagger back and forth to the coffee machine.
So they say "What do you need?" and the random shmuck who ends up answering says "A programmer. Needs a few years experience. Like, I don't know, 4? And it'd be good if he knew.Net." A reasonable response.
But it gets translated into "4 years experience in.Net 4" and it's.Net 4 because, when you Google.Net, the first link will take you to a page talking about.Net 4.
There is also the possibility, and I've run into this a few times, that they have a specific language requirement because they want to move in that direction, and they think it'll go smoother if they have an experienced person on staff.

I love a good social media chat.
It’s social media doing what it was designed for: provoking discussion, idea sharing and promotion of best practice.
I really enjoy participating in as many as I can each week, but if you can’t be online at the time, it’s still worth a flick through the discussions when you find the time.
So, which chats are the best for public relations and communications professionals?
How can you make the most of Twitter chats?
Use the hashtag – sounds obvious, you’d be surprised how many people forget. I like to ensure I’ve copied it so I can quickly paste it in.
Follow the rules – if there are topics, ensure you label answers A1, A2 etc.
Follow people you chat with – if you have a discussion with someone, follow them. If you find their points of view interesting, follow them. You’ll start to build up a network of engaging people (and chances are they’ll have found value in the exchange and follow you back too).
Build Twitter lists – if you find a chat you particularly like, add people from it to a Twitter list so you can catch up on their thoughts and content outside the chat much easier.
Ask questions – even if you don’t have opinions or ideas to add, ask people questions to find out more about their answer or what led them to this idea.
Any chats I’ve missed? Let me know – tweet me at @arianne_smart.

Slime Rancher 2 has a lot of unlockable upgrades and abilities for players to work towards as they play through the game. Many of these upgrades are useful, but nearing the top of the list is the Extra Tank upgrade. This is a bit more complex to unlock than others, so it's unlikely that players will be able to obtain it at the start of a new run, but it's well worth the effort.
How to unlock the Extra Tank in Slime Rancher 2
The Extra Tank upgrade can take a bit to unlock since players need to first get ahold of the Rock Slimes and Resource Harvester before they can get to this upgrade. Players also need to grab enough Newbucks, though they are much easier to come by.
- 450 Newbucks - Obtained by selling Plorts at the Plort Marketplace.
- 10 Rock Plorts - Dropped by Rock Slimes when they are fed.
- 10 Silky Sand - This item is obtained using the Resource Harvester, which is another upgrade unlocked via the Fabricator.
