Are You Asynchronous ???

[baltoro]

I was reading a post from my favorite windows software engineer, Raymon Chen,...who writes the programmer blog,...The Old New Thing, (NOT The Old New Thong),...in particular,...this blog: I Know That an Overlapped File Handle Requires an lpOverlapped, But Why Does It (Sometimes) Work If I Omit It?
I realized, to my horror,...that my brain function is fundamentally, and, chaotically an asynchronous tsunami of synaptic impulses. I'm impatient,...I NEVER wait for a complete cognitive realization. And, naturally, I wondered (from a purely hypothetical point of view) why the Windows Operating System deludes User-Mode programmers into actually believing that synchronous calls return as advertised. We all know intuitively that the Windows Operating System is smarter than we are,...we merely attempt to prevent it from randomly and maliciously crashing our precious programs by writing source code that yields well-behaved applications.
