beowulf cluster

Beowulf is a design for high-performance parallel computing clusters on inexpensive personal computer hardware. The name comes from the main character in the Old English epic Beowulf.

Commonly used on slashdot.

I wonder how much a beowulf cluster of those voting machines is.

Beowulf Effect

Referring to that creepy "almost real but not quite" look when too much 3D graphics is used to enhance movie object. This term comes from the movie Beowulf (2007) where 3D gives Ray Winstone, Angelina Jolie and other actors a very creepy, nearly-real-but-still-fake appearance.

"I hate it when those movie produces use WAY too much 3D in their movies... it makes the actors look creepy."

"Like the Beowulf Effect?"

"Exactly!"

.50 Beowulf

A rather big cartridge used mainly for hunting, but also in some custom assult rifles in use with some special forces and in Magnum Research's BFR (Biggest, Finest Revolver, red.). It has been credited for taking down anything from racoons to wild boars and grizly bears - and suicide bombers.
It makes a very hefty sound.

Honestly, I don't wanna get shot with a .50 Beowulf - even if i was inside a Humwee
