>>Of course, you can't be frozen below 0 C using this techique, because all your cells explode when the water freezes.
Hell, any good brand uh scotch'll do that fer ya.
The market is way too tight. Anyone who wants to get a job can get one with a few catches: 1) You've got to learn new Web skills THOROUGHLY and get into that market 2) There are stylistic differences - 20-somethings with goatees and earrings aren't going to groove on the Brooks Brothers suit, Chester. 3) Mental rigidity is the least welcome feature of 40-50 year old programmers. Lose it. 4) 10 years ago it was possible to dabble. Forget that stack. Prepare to read constantly for the rest of your career. It's now a professional job. The biggest whine I've heard from older programmers is that they don't want to read the fucking books. I mean, Jesus, then get another job. 5) If you were a shitty or mediocre programmer, then, yeah, you will have a tougher time getting a job - their smarter about sniffing out the wannabes now 6) get certified in a skill - a modern one. No one cares about your COBOL certification, post y2k. Believe me.
