I can't speak for all old coders, but I got kind of tired of coding just for the sake of coding. You can only do an implementation of a queue so many times before you ask yourself why you're writing it.
This is probably one of the most important comments on the mentality that favors younger programmers. A younger programmer would STL or some other library. A younger programmer is using everything at his/her disposal which was never available to you and when it became available, like an avalanche of new technologies/languages/libraries, you ignored it or never knew about it. Or whoever you worked for never gave you the incentive to learn anything new. Redundancy can lead to burnout or a withering of skills.
Many posts so far say "keep trying new things." This should be the core rule of a great programmer/designer/architect.
Telecom companies. Energy companies. Tobacco companies. Insurance companies. Credit card companies. Media companies. Car companies.
If they're doing more bad things than good things, then it seems to me they fit the bill for "evil"... and you can't get to the top by playing nice.
You are right.
If you have no Energy to light your Tobacco you won't need health Insurance, have more money and need no Credit card to pay for your Media bill where they told you you wanted a Car in the first place.
Thank you. I went through the BIOS and nothing obvious popped out.
It may just be the Saitek keyboard, but I had trouble with another IBM made.

And its kinda silly to give me shit about my clothes when I have my labret (lower lip) pierced. (Yes, I kept it in during the interview process.)
You think you're so cool!
I had Speedos on while sporting a prince albert (lower dongle) at my last interview! And I'm 350 pounds... And Tatooed... And bald... And bearded! Also I smell funny.
Alternatively, drive a tank through the building and crush me. Alternatively, drop a grenade by the propane tank outside the building and blow me to hell. Alternatively, throw in tear gas. But no, they just come in, one by one.
Boy. You never wanted to really win did you?
I played that game. It was hard and fun and now it's done.
Kinda like the way I enjoy finishing a book.
There is point where you'd be really annoyed at having to perform too many tasks over again.
It's a game.
What you got there is a cute marketing department that took two fabrics optimistically containing 750 threads per inch and wove them together getting 1500.

Why not?
There'll be bottlenecks with CPU speed, memory speed, and quite often, the performance of the hard drive itself.
The harddrive?
I bet even the operating system will present another bottleneck.
Really? How so?
Lets see if it can plateau with Battlefield 2 with 8xFSAA (SuperSampling?) and 16AF and 2048x1536x32bbp or any game made next year.
What are going to pick on the why guy for after this is a what are why anyway... hiccup.

Forget the OS. I'll use Linux when GRUB or LILO support my USB Saitek keyboard.
