Weta Digital Grows Cluster
Korgan writes "A little over 3 years after their last upgrade, Weta Digital has just added another 250 more blade servers to their render farm to help with the final renderings of King Kong. From the article: "The IBM Xeon blade servers, each with two 3.4 gigahertz processors and 8 gigabytes of memory, are housed at the New Zealand Supercomputing Centre in central Wellington. They have been added to the centre's existing bank of 1144 Intel 2.8GHz processors, boosting its power by 50 per cent to create a supercomputer with the equivalent power of nearly 15,000 PCs. The servers run the Red Hat version of the open-source Linux operating system. The purchase means the centre is back among the 100 largest supercomputing clusters in the world." And all that computing power is still available for hire when Peter Jackson isn't using it."
I mean, I don't want to be rude or anything but what the hell drove you to press "submit" after having written an idiotic comment like that? What is its purpose? Who do you think would find it funny? Do YOU find it funny? I really am not trolling, I just cannot understand the mindset of someone who recycles the same stupid joke again and again.
Mother is the best bet and don't let Satan draw you too fast.
Why is it that you feel the need to justify an idiotic - slashbotical if you will- comment by unfunilly replying to a comment pointing out that the comment in question was indeed idiotic? Was that the most insightful comment you could muster? If yes, why did you bother?

Feel free to reply with "If you don't like it here, leave", that would indeed be the idiotic comment to top them all.
