[MLB-WIRELESS] Wireless Cluster ???

[Drew]

Possible, yeah... feasible, probably not. There are already companies 
that will pay you for your processing time, such as porivo.com. I 
checked it out and 10 days of processing with a 1.3ghz gets me $2USD. So 
figure $12AUD per month, per person with relatively fast cpus, is that 
enough when combined? Maybe there are better paying ones out there, I 
don't know.
