My new computer came today. It is well sweet. 3GB RAM and 160GB SATA disk. DVD burner. And only $320. A nice surprise was that it's a dual-core Pentium. I had expected that I'd have to scrape by on a single core. I now just have to think of something neat to do with all those cores. Perhaps I'll get one to do nothing but calculate prime numbers while merrily playing some high-intensity (but high FPS) Tetris on the other.
what does one do with cores, anyway?

I’m not sure you’d do anything that normal people would find useful.

Then you have a backup in case Klingons breach the first one.

I think that actually was the main motivation for them.
