You set up process control structures, and when a process yields or its time frame is up, you schedule a different process to run.

Jesus. I mean, how difficult can it be? Multitasking Systems is linked right from the front page of the Wiki, which in turn is linked right from the front page of the forum. How to Ask Questions the Smart Way is also linked in more than one place, including at least one of the "sticky, read-me-first" threads. LMGTFY is also a good starting point.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

Describe the symptoms of your problem or bug carefully and clearly.
-Possible lack of self initiative to research. How can i get some?

Describe the environment in which it occurs (machine, OS, application, whatever). Provide your vendor's distribution and release level (e.g.: “Fedora Core 7”, “Slackware 9.1”, etc.).
-Quite likely in Real Life in the environment Earth, I'm not sure how many people are familiar with this?

Describe the research you did to try and understand the problem before you asked the question.
-Read post 1.

Describe the diagnostic steps you took to try and pin down the problem yourself before you asked the question.
-I didnt? Oh noes!

Describe any possibly relevant recent changes in your computer or software configuration.

Code: Select all

if (!bUseBrain) ask_dumb_question();
If at all possible, provide a way to reproduce the problem in a controlled environment.
-Put Dr. Phil and Paris Hilton in the same room and lock the door to make it a controlled experiment.
