Rent A Bit Of Weta Digital
An anonymous reader writes linking to this story at stuff.co.nz, excerpting: "Five hundred powerful computers used by Weta Digital to help create the special effects for the Lord of the Rings may be put up for hire.... The pizza-box sized IBM blade servers each incorporate dual 2.8 gigahertz Intel Xeon processors and 6 [gigabytes?] of memory." Update: 03/22 07:08 GMT by S : The linked story says 6 megabytes of memory, we don't believe 'em.

Six whole megabytes? That's like, ten times 640K, and everyone knows that's all anyone needs!
Did the article mean 6 gigabytes? Or a 6MB cache, or what?
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
6 megabytes ought to be enough for anyone
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Would it be a beowulf of beowulfs...
A metabeowulf?
A superbeowulf?
An Uberbeowulf?
The cat's pajamas?
or just fun?
In Soviet Russia... Weta Digital rents a bit of YOU!
That's kind of funny.
Do people not get the reference? Or do they get it and are just sick of it? I'm sick of people modding me flamebait when I post jokes like this.
"Plants, Animals and the Environment"
What the?!
6 [gigabytes?]
To do that, they'd have to be 64 bit machines and I dont think they are. Maybe it was originally intended to read '600 megabytes'.
The linked story says 6 megabytes of memory, we don't believe 'em.
I don't blame you, why would anyone want more than 640k?
