Apple/NVidia Driver Bug — Question Deleted

Joe Drago writes "I purchased a Mac Pro within the first week that they were available, and immediately upgraded to 3GB of RAM (knowing that OSX loves memory). When playing 3D games (World of Warcraft mainly), the game would Kernel Panic the machine if I had played it for a few hours, or if I swapped in and out of the game a few times, etc. I eventually found out (from an official Blizzard poster) that NVidia has a bug in their drivers that kernel panics a Mac Pro if any memory past the 2GB boundary is addressed in the driver. After waiting months for a resolution to this, I decided to post on Apple's support site. Here is an image of my post.. Within a few hours, they removed it from the site, placing it under 'Posts Removed by Administration.' What's going on here? Is Apple trying to hide this bug, or is there something more serious going on between Apple and NVidia?"

    Who modded this up? If there was a shred of evidence that this was happening, I'd bite, but you can't just claim that Apple is supporting the nuking of driver threads to cover-up some annoying driver bug and not have something to back you up; otherwise, you come off looking like a troll.

    So who appointed you the policy maker for Apple's forums? Just curious.

    Apple can do whatever they want on the forums they're paying for. Nothing stops you from posting here or blogging about it.

    Would you pay hosting fees for someone to post negative information about you?

    Macsbug? The fuck? Nobody's used Macsbug since 2001. And Jasik? That old cunt is still doddering around with his overpriced debugger?

    I think all your knowledge is about six years out of date. Drown in beige and die, PC user.
