If you have more threads than cores, obviously it slows down, in any language.
If you have 5000 'working' (not sleeping) threads on a single core, obviously they have to share the processing power, obviously every thread can only run with 1/5000ths of the cores capabilities (much lower even due to context switches).

That is a no brainer and has nothing to do with the language.

But good luck running 5k threads with C or C++ then :)

As others already suggested: try Erlang ... but the programming paradigm is quite different.

I did not say they are not linked to weight gain: I said, we don't know what the mechanism is!
And I emphasized that they are given in low doses (and it is not 'antibiotics' it is only a certain subbranch if them, I really doubt you find penicillin causing weight gains).

Because ISIS doesn't give half a shit more about the Koran than the average politician over here does about the Bible. It's a tool to keep them in power and keep the sheep following them.

Why do you think people in the Middle East would be different from people in other parts of the world?

Isis is violating a fair lot of Islam rules. Not just now.

Just like so many radical groups they use religion as a tool to justify their actions. It's hardly a new idea.

Because when people learn critical thinking skills, they automatically dismiss ignorant hate-centered dogmas.

Any religion is afraid of science.

Religion is about faith.
Science is about doubt.

It's fairly easy to see why one is anathema of the other.

I can well see Muhammad and Jesus looking down on the whole mess and going "Dude, if I had known what they turn it into..." "Yeah, yeah, me neither".

About 3000/1000.

And some shrapnel.

Oh I'm fairly sure, if they thought they'd get away with it they'd cram the crap down your throat with fire and brimstone. It's not like the history of religion has been too peaceful.

Quite the opposite, I'd expect them to turn green with envy.

The cynic in me would say that's the real reason they hate the Islamist fundies: Envy.

Yeah, but for a different imaginary friend. For some odd reason that's important for them.

So ... the afterlife is a lot like a 90s LAN party?

So I wasn't the only one thinking "replace Allah with God and you should have quite a bit of support with some domestic lunatics"?

I'm not so wrong that you need to emphasize it like a jackass. In fact, in the context in which I was thinking, I was absolutely correct:

Footnote:

It just so happens that I was *right* in the *wrong context*. Dick.

You do realize that both UPS and FedEx provide the shipper with a tracking number at the time the shipping label is created, right? Having a tracking number tells you a label has been created (not even necessarily printed) and nothing more; entering the tracking number into the tracking system can provide you more details, but the mere existence of a set of numbers does not convince me that anything has been shipped.

In fact, it was confirmed that iPhones started leaving ZhengZhou on 9-15, the day after I posted that comment. The first of those should be arriving Friday (today, for those who paid for expedited shipping). You seem to think you're good at finding this type of information, so I'll leave that as an exercise for you; for everyone else who reads this, I suggest starting with the search term so generously provided by the AC I'm replying to.
