Distributed Computing in JavaScript

I dreamt this up a long time ago, and it's finally become feasible. A couple years back I wrote a script to compute md5 hashes using ActiveX. I would have liked to make it distributed but quite frankly, I did not want to invest large amounts of time. Now, using Google's Map-Reduce this concept is quite simple to implement.

A distributed JavaScript solution to my md5 concept can be found here. As well, you can review the theory and some sample code here.
