Who did invented this crazy issolated text.

For me is a process a particular course of action intended to achieve a
result.
A thread is a main or subprocess inside this process, which does not exist
withouth that parent process.

Actually, in this context, threads and processes are actual hardware
constructs of the x86 CPU (not of Windows, nor some other OS) and not
general "ideas" as you describe them... and that "crazy issolated text" is
totally correct.

But, I guess applying existententialism to computers is always fun! ;-)

LOL :-) and if I was the job interviewer you would definitely get the job,
because this a nice example of thinking outside the box ;-) :-)
