Sez one AC to another.....

Given how specialized and difficult recruiting is these days, I wonder how long will recruiting be a low skill job? I have seen plenty of people from other disciplines get into recruiting. Far from being an HR drone job, it's now a very high stress job, given that recruiters have targets to fill, and they'd tend to lose their jobs if those ain't met. Also, given how specialized the searches are, recruitment is becoming as segmented an industry as engineering or other high skilled disciplines.

Not just that, where is the evidence that Windows 10 runs better than OS-X on Apple's hardware? I run it on my Winbook, right now, it's okay, but still has enough bugs to be ironed out

As a PC-BSD user, the version of KDE Plasma that I have is 4.x. However, I have switched over to Lumina.

You wouldn't! Since it comes w/ a FreeBSD OS on it, w/ the full backing and endorsement of Apple

That's fine - don't disclose anything, but do vendors like Oracle or HP sell custom boxes if you coughed up the cash? Would you get a modern SPARCstation of a Fujitsu chip in an Oracle box w/ either Linux or Solaris? Would you get an Itanium workstation from HP running HP/UX or FreeBSD? I was under the impression that the Mac Pro is the only UNIX workstation that you can get these days (even if you toss in Lintel boxes into the mix)

I don't consider the Mac Pro cheap. If it is equipped w/ the amount of memory that workstations typically require, it would be right up there w/ an equivalent UNIX workstation, assuming that any are still openly sold. And it wouldn't be a bad value for money - it would essentially be BSD, w/ Quartz on top of it.

Isn't cheating allowed? Write the original OS in C, then compile, and then work on the resultant assembly code, first on optimizing, and then on adding features?

So do they support the multiple cores of say, an i3? What sort of UI does the OS use - something like Windows?

Do people normally buy Mac Pros for games? I thought one did it if one needed a (UNIX) workstation

But do people normally swap video cards in & out of Macs? Only if they do would an OS-X version of this been useful. Also, while iOS may be wildly popular, the same ain't true about OS-X.

Uh, b'cos we're talking about atrocities happening today!!! At the time of the Spanish inquisition, Muslims too were busy persecuting non-Muslims from Egypt to India, especially in India. So if you are trying to score who did more, then the Inquisition is cancelled out by that, and we have Muslim atrocities today unmatched by anything done by any other religious group

And you have Christians from all over the world pouring into Uganda to join their ranks, and the LRA getting people on the Internet to commit terror acts in their own countries to further the cause of Christianity. Right?

Cool - pull out something from the 15th century (or thereabouts) to equate to something happening TODAY!!!

I am talking about their status in their respective religions, as opposed to whether they were trying to establish one or not. Just like Jesus is #1 in Christianity, Mohammed was #1 in Islam. I was refuting the contention that Mohammed's equivalent in Christianity was Pope Urban II
