this seams far fetched but,
has any one played with the idea of muiltcomputer processing?
like threads but with whole computers

this could be usefull for huge webservers
and mmorpg type game servers

just an idea though

Do you mean using PB? Some clustering schemes work by automatically transferring thread execution to different machines. They do this in the background so that the language does not need to specifically support it (but to get the best performance you still need to design the program with clustering in mind). Do a google for "linux clusters" to get more info and links to some excellent books.
