BTW even a cursory search on Dice.com or a talk with any reputable 
Technical Recruitment professional will show you that the average 
full-time salary for a programmer, of any type, in NYC, is about 90K a year.

This calculates out to, yep, about $50 an hour...including the cost of 
benefits, and assuming the full-timers have a workweek closer to 50 
hours per week (which most do).
