@deafjackomonster I have started using my msn account again, maybe you can catch me when I'm online :D

@deafjackomonster aha! So basically making things run faster by using more than one thread. Now I understand, that's why it checked the ports one by one in the begining and like 5at a time at the end. right! Cheers :D

@STEVIEdaFISH Yer that's basicly it. Faster. It takes more code but in the long run its better.

@deafjackomonster Nah, keep the voice, makes it easier to understand! Although I don't understand what this can be used for??

[deafjackomonster]

@STEVIEdaFISH The performance difference between a "linear" coded program (the first scanner) and a multi threaded program is phenomenal. For example if your doing a science simulation. Instead of it calculating it one by one, you can calculate it parallel.. that make any sense? Or take a game; instead of having all the calculation done under the main thread (like bullet drop, building destroyed etc), you chuck it to a slave thread or dump it in a thread pool and get it to calculate parallel

[STEVIEdaFISH]

Glad to see you back!

@STEVIEdaFISH Cheers. The voice over worth it? Or should I go back to music and text...
