And because Linux represents threads as processes. But they're still 
threads, as you'll see if you kill the parent. (You should also notice 
that all the statistics are the same.) You can understand the

ps auxf

             --jcc

Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design."
