| Apr 5, 2012 at 11:37 | comment | added | Jim G. | If you're writing a web application, refuse to support IE 6 and IE 7. It takes a lot of electricity to support those antiquated browsers. | |

| Mar 21, 2012 at 15:48 | comment | added | James P. | It doesn't really matter as some decent replies were given below. And, yes, as @Paul says the intent was to find out how a programmer could fit the requirement, if at all possible. | |
| Mar 21, 2012 at 14:03 | comment | added | Paul | I disagree about off-topic. There are things developers can do to improve ecological usage. IE: Writing code that cuts down on cpu usage. | |

I would definitely stay away from that company, if I could afford to do so. This is a very bad sign of more nonsense coming your way, and I assume that you have a much better use for your time. For example, you could use that time to build web sites for clients who care about your abilities to build outstanding web sites, not b.s.-ing your way through their nonsense requirements. | |
