I actually saw an ad, once, that required -- for a computer developer position -- that you specify your experience with "Computer" and "Operating System".

I explained to the clueless offshore recruiter, that having these requirements would be similar to adding "Electricity", "Chair", and "Breathing".

She still didn't get it.

I hung up.
