So the assumption is the programmers who wrote this code where so perfect it's not possible to improve upon it nor is it likely there are bugs or inefficiencies in the code. Wow. Given human nature, I would assume there's room for improvement in the code.
Maybe they are looking for people to improve on the routines because you know someone might have a better way of writing a routine or they may find redundant code.
LMOL think again Potsy. C# is a Java rip off. Java and C# where not developer for business applications like those used for COBOL. Neither has the functions or the libraries that COBOL has for business applications. There's a reason why large financial institutions are still running COBOL and it has nothing to do with being cheap!
If the applicant can't handle the hiring process, then maybe they aren't worth hiring. If the applicant is in demand, then they'll be hired regardless of what you do.

"The EIA measured relative emissions across the US economy as "carbon intensity"—an average of the amount of carbon any sector gives off as it consumes different kinds of fuel. The measurements were applied to five sectors of the US economy: transportation, commercial, residential, electric, and industrial." https://arstechnica.com/scienc...
You're a moron aren't you. Look up profit shifting some time. As it was explained to you, corporations can setup subsidiaries where they shift profits from one unit to another. So you could show that the US business made no profits because it had to pay the Ireland business IP licenses, effectively wiping out all profits made in the US business. Over Apple can show profits because of what all business units do but the US business unit can show the IRS that the business unit made no profits.
Seriously? COBOL is a programming language developed for business NOT because there wasn't a graphic user interface but because it was developed to have functions used in business, finance, and administrative systems. No other programming language can easily do what COBOL does. That's why it has persisted for 57 years. Moron.
Unless you have a contract with your employer, there is no contract. Bottom line is, unless your employer states you can engage in that activity, you can't.
It is cut and dry. Check with HR. They will let you know what is acceptable. FYI sitting around on company time does not make it personal time. Adults should know this.

LMOL not to people who conduct business.
The business community does.
The code runs on a super computer. So no Potys they weren't using Intel i386 processors!

You mean like physicists and engineers. Yeah they're really worried *eye roll*

"off the shelf" where the heck do you get off the shel COBOL programs!! They're all custom apps. Jesus tap dancing Christ.

Wait...who's using C#.....

Really dingus. Try reading the article again.

It's called fuel efficiency moron. And it's something the automotive industry has been fighting tooth and nail since the '70s.
If you think cars can't be more fuel efficient then you have your head severely up your ass.

So go educate yourself.

You mean laughing out loud....it ain't never going to happen. Just look at the armed forces.
Sales. Seriously is that hard to figure out. Nobody is buying the phone get over it.
LMOL....
Bill Gates is that you? Ah the Betamax argument. Numbers tell a different story. NOBODY IS BUYING WINDOWS PHONE. It's dead. Get over it.
A venture capitalist is trying to sell you something....
Or they get rid of you.
