in thread Should I use threads? Perl/DHCP/Radius

Sorry. But that is absolute bollocks.

Modern research has long since shown that "us"--whether the males or females of the species--are absolutely useless at multitasking.

And asserting that the human brain works like an event loop is even bigger bollocks. Watch this...

    Yeah, I read from left to right, you old school conformist! :-) I also read 5 lines at a time, thanks to Speed Reading Class.

    Are you telling us, that BrowserUk cannot walk and chew gum at the same time?

    Or that people can't talk on a cellphone, and drive at the same time?

      Sure they can. Just as people can drive when they're drunk. With similar results!.

      As for speed reading. There is a big difference between reading the words, and understanding them.

        Well if you accept that people can talk on the cell phone and drive at the same time, then we have established that humans do indeed multitask in their thought processes. I'l bet there is one independent process for each of our senses, so 5, and maybe 6 independent loops, for psychic types.

        So....eventloops rule the human mind
