US & The Philippines have a Mutual Defense Treaty in place. It is highly beneficial for the US that China does not have full control.

So if push comes to shove, the US will be right there. I also believe that other countries such as France, etc... has backed the ruling and are in full support of the 5 other countries

This is awesome! No more TL;DR. The plugin or extension idea is also great and would be much easier to use and avoid the copy paste of urls. Congrats!!!

he said "...it will make you feel more comfortable and less out place...". in my experience, it is the opposite.

been to a few interviews where the interviewers were wearing a t-shirt, jeans and sandals.

Re:Yes I Still Want To Be Doing This at 56 on Friday October 05, 2012 @11:57AM (#4617382)
I for one do have a spouse and a child, no dog though :(

I have worked probably the same amount of hours when I was younger but due to other responsibilities that came up after I got married, I had to stick with the 35 - 40 hours work weeks.

I was recently involved with a very small shop (5 people, 3 full time developers) and it really took a toll on me. I got caught up in a project that had no end in sight and really caused me great frustration and a sense of not accomplishing anything which contributed immensely in my decision to walk away.

Right now I'm taking a long break but still update myself with what is going on in tech & programming in particular. I have always been a coder (only job I ever had) and I can't see myself doing anything else.

BTW, I just turned 50 myself. So here's to another 20 years of writing software. Cheers!
