The difference between left- and right-hand thread is that one is turned in a given direction to tighten the fastener, and the other is turned in the opposite direction to tighten the fastener. Let's look a bit more closely.
Most fasteners with threads are turned clockwise to tighten them. (This is true for a nut, and for a bolt, you'd be looking at the head with the threads away from you.) These are right-hand threaded fasteners. These fasteners are turned counter-clockwise to loosen them, as you might have guessed. With left-hand fasteners just the opposite is true when tightening them or loosening them.
We make left hand fasteners for special purposes. We'd have to have a reason to make "backwards" threads on a fastener, wouldn't we? We do, and most applications where we see left-hand threaded fasteners involve attaching rotating parts. A lawn mower blade is a good example, and by looking at the physics, it will become obvious.
A lot of blades on lawn mowers attach to the shaft of the motor with a nut or a bolt. You know the machine we're talking about. The motor shaft points straight down, and the blade is a "cutter bar" with the ends sharpened. Anyway, if the motor on the machine turns clockwise (looking at the motor from the bottom where the blade is attached), using a fastener that turns clockwise to tighten it (a right-hand threaded fastener) sets the stage for a problem. Roll up your sleeves and look at the physics.
When the motor starts, it "torques" the shaft clockwise. The blade and the fastener that hold the blade are likewise torqued clockwise. But consider mean old inertia. Inertia is the name we give to the phenomenon associated with objects that have mass (like the fastener that holds the blade on). If a body is at rest, it wants to remain at rest. If it's in motion, it wants to remain in motion. Force is necessary to change the motion of a mass because of inertia. That said, let's focus on the bolt that holds the blade on the motor.
If the bolt on the motor shaft of a lawn mower turns clockwise and a right-hand threaded bolt holds the blade on, the inertia of the bolt when it's at rest makes it "resist" the torque of the motor, which is clockwise. The effect on the bolt is that the bolt's inertia makes it want to turn counter-clockwise. And counter-clockwise is the direction we'd turn the fastener to take it off. If the motor is started time and time again, it applies a little torque in the "wrong" direction to the bolt that holds the blade on. If the bolt ever becomes a bit loose, it can easily be spun off, which will cause the blade to detach. If the blade comes off while the machine is running at speed, that blade becomes a lethal projectile.
Left-hand threads are applied in a number of applications, and most involve rotating parts. It costs more to make left-hand threaded fasteners because the volume in which they are produced is lower. The economy of scale makes the right-hand threaded fasteners cheaper, and they would be a manufacturers choice if not for the engineering considerations associated with the rotating parts of a machine. Left-hand threaded fasteners are made for a specific application where right-hand threaded fasteners would be a fool's choice.
With standard screws, which are right-threaded screws, they are turned to the right to tighten, and to the left to loosen. With left-threaded screws, they are turned to the left to tighten, and to the right to loosen, thus the saying, "Lefty - loosey, righty - tighty". The left-threaded screws are mainly used on something mechanical that rotates to the right, to keep them from tightening up as the machine rotates. Another use for left-threaded fittings are butane/propane bottles. They are used as a safety feature on them so you can't screw a common fitting into the bottle.

A virus runs in a thread, as do all programs. The difference between a generic thread and a virus is that the thread may not be harmful, while the virus generally is.

They are both the same thread. They are both calling out a British Parallel Pipe thread. Please do not assume that this is the same as the standard North American pipe thread, as it is not close to the same.
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
Shared memory and thread are not compareable since both of them relies to different technologies. A Shared memory is one of the methods to implement interprocess communication or IPC, by which different processes or tasks can access the same memory area, to share data between them. A thread or thread of execution is a mechanism by which a process can be split in to multiple simultaneously running pieces of code.
Normal right hand thread. Counter clock wise to loosen.
The axle nut is right hand thread. Turn it counterclockwise to loosen.
A virus runs in a thread, as do all programs. The difference between a generic thread and a virus is that the thread may not be harmful, while the virus generally is.
In computing terms - A 'thread' is a topic of discussion, and a 'post' is a response to the 'thread'.
lefthand thread.
The difference between thread rope and string is that thread is more thicker than string and that string is more thinner than rope and thread is more thinner than rope there's your answer geese
No.

Stop threading terminates the thread and cannot be resumed whereas suspend puts thread to sleep indefinitely and it can be resumed.
Basically no difference, except that process can use many threads; thread can use only one.

The difference between internal flush and full hole thread is that the roots of the full-hole tool joints are rounded, and the roots for the internal-flush joints are flat.
