When a particular thread has many dependent thread, and that particular thread is terminated, then all the threads that depends on that terminated thread will no longer belong to something and they will certainly mislead to their each functions. This is what it call orphan thread.

What is the value of a Captain Fantastic home model pinball machine?

The home model originally sold for about $650 back in 1977. The game CPU board used a special CPU chip that is no longer available when it dies. If your machine works properly and is in good condition, then it's worth $250 tops.


What is interrupted?

A computer hardware interrupt is where a peripheral device is allowed to send a signal to the CPU that signals that it needs attention. Arrival of this, will make the CPU save current context (the "registers")and start a "handler" that is defined to trap and handle the signal. The interrupt may be a keyboard key being pressed, and the handler will interpret the "event" with a "mask" to identify where it comes from. It will then hand over the result to the operating system, that wakes up the application that is waiting for the keyboard input, and makes it available to this. The CPU will trap interrupts from 0 first to the higher number 15. So, if the Handler spends to much time processing, other interrupts may be lost. When the "interrupt vector" has been cleared, execution is resumed according to the policy of the short term dispatcher in the operating system.
