This is the same mistake made on a previous news item: Both of them are misquoting an earlier study that determined a *Total* of 210,000 computers worldwide were participating in a distributed computing project of some kind. The other item was worse: it used the 210k to calculate ratios and percentages to compare the different projects. So of course all the numbers were useless, and the conclusions were idiotic.
