The number of Texture Memory Units (TMU's) has also been raised from four to eight, since there is no logical reason to have fewer textures than pixels per clock."

AOL to reform customer service after NY probe "Service reps could earn bonuses of tens of thousands of dollars if they could successfully dissuade or "save" half of the people who called to cancel service. Consumer reps were expected to meet minimum retain or save percentages. This led to instances where workers failed to honour cancellations or otherwise made cancellation unduly difficult for consumers. Many consumers complained that AOL personnel ignored their demands to cancel service and stop billing."

11/30/2006 GPU and SMP beta client update 11/30/2006 GPU and SMP beta client update We've issued updates to the GPU and SMP beta clients, since many of them expire on December 1, 2006. Also, the new GPU client has greater support for GPU cards (we now support x1600, x1800, and x1900 class ATI cards). The download page has the latest. These new GPU and SMP clients expire on February 1, 2007. Once we go final (i.e. out of a public beta), we will remove the expiration date from the client. The expiration dates are useful to make sure donors upgrade clients, as older beta SMP or GPU clients often have bugs which need to be upgraded.
