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

Well, that's not becuse the poor guy is unable to multitask, but because at that very moment he stops multitasking

I never asserted that we don't multi-task; just that we are lousy at it.

It's less than a month since I watched a Michelin-starred and frequent TV chef, slice his thumb whilst chopping onions. Some poor sous-chef elsewhere in the kitchen dropped a pan--loud noise--momentary distraction--blue plaster. (And possibly an ex-sous-chef, but they didn't show that bit! :)

Like all analogies, it is flawed. And each of us chose to emphasise those bits which we thought best supported our point of view.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
