That's (potentially) one big computer you have there, Lou.

We were so sure
We were so wrong
But there's no one left to see
And there's no one left to die
There's only M.E.

Which Sarah Conner? Linda Hamilton would kick their ass but the new TV one would probably be a pushover.

I wouldn't be so cocky, subby, when the only difference between you and the 131 other greenlit submitters is that you managed fark up both her first AND last names.

Each server rack has two midplanes, leaving you with 1024 nodes and 2TB of memory. In theory, you can connect up to 16,384 racks, providing up to 67.1m cores with 32PB of memory.

Meh, I have this on my laptop. It still struggles to run Vista.

/Or maybe it's all the porn?
//Nah.

Wow you really know how to bring a guy down, don't you. I'm flattered you bothered to.

First green, but then again I don't give a fark. Guess I'm batting .500

i'm suddenly curious about cluster computing...that could be fun -- setting up a render farm.

speaking of which, is it common for people to cluster multicore/processor Macs for rendering and scientific modeling purposes?

I've only heard the Nine Inch Nails cover of it, both long and short versions... it's in the top 10 of my favorite NIN songs...

THANK YOU for expanding my music mind!

Not sure, but PIXAR probably did. And if they did, it was HUGE.

now that i think about it, the MacPro boxes (and xServes) can be configred with an optional fiber channel card.

should have thought about that.

Wasn't the point of the internet to be delocalized so that no single attack could bring it down? Isn't this the exact opposite of that?

They'll have to build two:

One for the regular 'net, and one just for the PORN!!
