distributed.net was founded to serve as a gathering point for research and projects related to distributed processing. To build up a network of computers over the Internet all coordinating on various tasks, with each computer working on the project it's best suited to. Proving that when you add up all the idle time, on all the computers all over the Internet, that enourmous tasks may be accomplished.
distributed.net will tackle large problems in encryption, finding large prime numbers, or playing chess at a level unknown previously. Other large problems that no individual, corporation, or government could tackle alone will be started as we find larger and larger problems to tackle.
With that in mind, go forth and multiply, divide, rotate, invert, and conquer. May no computer ever be idle again.
