The article is exactly about projects like SETI@home or Folding@home.

  But those are just a subset of distributed computing which is itself a very large category of things. Even a single machine can be distributed computing the computation is distributed between multiple processes.

    Yes, but the article is still about volunteer computing networks like SETI. >Even a single machine can be distributed computing the computation is distributed between multiple processes. No.

    > But those are just a subset of distributed computing Yes, but you must either have 1) not read even the first sentence of the article, or 2) be intentionally obtuse and obnoxious to not recognize that this article is only about "donate your spare computer time" type of distributed computing. Headline is somewhat unfortunate, but to pretend that you somehow didn't understand what the article is about is considerably more unfortunate.
