CUDA beta4

[AMDave]

Well Beta 4 has expired.

It stops just as ungracefully as its predecessors, without flushing the cache.

So you will likely have a few finished but unreturned work units on your client.

Don't forget to "-flush" them back to the server and make sure you get all the credit you deserve

Yeah... doesn't take someone much time to just do a recompile and change the date so they can extend it if they truly aren't ready to put out a "new" beta. It's not like the GPU's are given away out in the stores. People pay serious bucks to play the game for them. And this is with the hardware that is putting out the serious outputs for the rc5 project.

Of course one can just set their computer clock back and run the client. But they shouldn't have to do that cause the distributed.net folks should have enough respect for the people contributing to their project to keep the clients from expiring.

Besides the stuff like the RS project and others just fading off the face of the planet, stuff like this beta client hassle is more stuff that is just taking away the shine and fun and excitement of the DC world. Whatta crock of $h*t.

Edit: But they got their wish. The GPU's are pulled off the rc5 stuff now. I'm glad I didn't buy another GPU yesterday and instead put the bucks into Intel Q9400's. Those work good on the nplb stuff. May even just pull the AMD cpu's on OGR stuff off that too (they also have the gpu's in them) and shut them down and save the bucks on electricity.

edit: edit: I decided to just shut down the AMD systems and stop ogr stuff too. Still no cuda rc5 client, so I'm just going to concentrate on NPLB only.
