Juno's Supercomputer
I tried using Juno as an alternative to paying for Netzero's unlimited access,
but could never, ever, ever log on. It always brings up an error message and
says I can't have access after (or before? whatever...) 4:00AM EST. What does
that mean? Isn't it always before or after 4:00AM EST? Is this another way of
saying "tough luck"?
Now, I read Juno is trying to get customers to leave their computers on all
the time and give Juno hard drive space and computing power to create
a distributed virtual super computer, whose time can be sold to biotech
firms wanting to decode our DNA. Even if you could connect to Juno, I'm
assuming free ISP users generally have one phone line -- won't this tie up the
line all the time?
