Yes, 10% illiteracy, but you should fear themany more who might as well be! Half the web seems to talk in this manner: "omg hi2u! a/s/l! i tihnk bush is best presdent becus he dosnt worry about talking good"
The only catch is that the machine distributing these little CPU-eating nuggests has to check for result validity. Otherwise spammers could just generate fake results and produce worthless data. That would make it less practical except for certain calculation types (cracking cryptography, finding large prime numbers, calculating places of pi). On the other hand, imagine the market value of all that farmed out processing power. I can see getting paid for each email you receive, or receiving better free email service sponsored by the processing power gained by email company.
