One time, a group of us guys were at the grocery store buying some beer. I was having a conversation with one of my friends at the checkout counter as I saw a really, really, hot girl. My eyes were attached to her and couldn't let go. I was able to keep up with the conversation despite not looking at my friend.
He then asked "Are you really paying attention or are you just looking at that hot chick?"
I replied, "No, I'm paying attention. I'm like a dual-core processor. One is for our conversation and the other is right now on the girl"
Then my other friend said, "I am dual-core as well. But both cores are hung on that girl. "

It isn't out of the question, but I don't think we will be able to justify the work.
. One of the reasons for not making a Linux port was due to the fact that the new engine "pushes a lot of paths that are not usually optimized" and that the Linux port would have to use the binary blob graphics driver in order to work. However, the MacOS port has not been cancelled yet.
Here is a full list for the lazy:

Its not really a "hybrid" the same way that Toyota's vehicles are hybrid. The current hybrids have the following (I am over-simplifying this) algorithm:
- If at slow speed: use battery
- If at high speed or high acceleration, use gas
- If at medium speed with little or no acceleration, then use a little bit of both
However, the Volt uses the following algorithm:
- Use as much battery until almost dead
- If battery is just about dead, use gas
For short distances, it can give almost infinite MPG (which is why there has to be a special way to rate the MPG for this kind of vehicle). Toyota and Honda are going to use this second algorithm (called "EV Mode") in their new cars soon.

Anyway, Apple was one of the companies that first came up with the OpenCL standard. Apple worked with Khronos to make it a full standard. AMD is one of the first to publicly release a full implementation of OpenCL which is why this is big news.
I haven't read too much of OpenCL (just a few whitepapers and tutorials) but does anybody know if you can use both the GPU and CPU at the same time for the same kind of task. For example, in a single "kernel", I want it done 100 times, I can send 4 to the quad-core CPU and the rest to the GPU? If so, this would be a big win for AMD.
As a 25 year old, I was taught good handwriting and cursive when I was in grade school. However, after elementary, I found it pointless to write in cursive anymore. As a matter of fact, in my generation, most people's cursive is worse than their "regular" handwriting. To complicate matters, when we see a cursive "n", we often misread it as "m".
Other things I noticed about our generation is that we have a harder time seeing hyphenated words (as they often appear in newspapers, but almost never on a computer) and we tend like our san-serif fonts more than the regular serif font.

Sorry for being off-topic, but what do you guys think is the best keyboard out there? I recently got a Model M keyboard (from Unicomp) and I can't say its worth the price. Also, I feel like the newer the keyboard is, the harder it is to program in (due to location of the arrows and/or the buttons gives little tactile feedback). Anybody else feel the same way?
Its not a good idea to compare watching commercials on TV vs. Hulu. One major difference that should be taken into consideration is the fact that there is only one commercial between segments of shows on Hulu; while on TV there are multiple. Its easier to "remember" the commercials after only seeing one rather than multiple but at the same time the overall revenue that the episode gets per viewer would probably be much less.
