It even mentioned hobbyist clusters over the internet as a practical implementation. ;)

I'd be up for trying a cluster over the internet   

Do you have the bandwidth for a high-performance one, or would we end up with a high-latency constantly-exploding one? ;)


My London site does about 1.5 Mbps up, 17 down, local (UK) ping of about 20-30 ms, up time at the moment is 57:13:59, but that's because I rebooted the router after some changes.

On a related note: How hard would it be to modify Johnny's bridge to carry LAN-over-IP traffic? Not sure I want to upgrade my boxes to 8.4...

About a five minute hack.
