Someone (Darren, I think?) asked how to make games benefit from multiple cores.

Here's one way: fluid simulations!

"Along with mentioning a strange rash, a sure way to kill a conversation is to

NB: I haven't read the full article, so I can't say how in-depth they get.  The
article is also sponsored by Intel, so they may throw some biased opinions in
there.  I don't know.

More likely to have been Warp, but anyway...

One of these days I'm going to have to write a game. ;-)
