So how would you have fixed a weird video bug in the newest Kext? They introduced the bug as part of a software update, and I wasn't interested in rolling back the Kext to an earlier version.
So you'd invest what -- a few weeks -- in fixing that, when I can just call Apple, and they send me a free video card, just IN CASE it's a bad card and not a software bug? Makes COMPLETE sense, lol.
It's weird that you think I don't do it because I *can't* do it, rather than WHY would I do it? Practice? LOL.

Because, instead, you're wasting your time. I'm working on my next project, and you're dicking around with something that isn't making you money.

That's a weird argument, since I was the Vice President of Business Development for the company that released Python 2.0 -- something you use when you install Linux. What contributions have you made, with all of your tinkering? Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to point out why your assumptions are a bit silly.

No, you really haven't, unless you have access to Apple's code. You aren't going to be fixing a bug in their OS release. It's weird to imply that you would, or could. What you WOULD be doing is going out to the store to go buy a video card. Me? I'm making a phone call, and in 5 minutes, one is in the mail to me, as well as a follow-up from the engineers to make sure the problem is getting fixed, if it's a software problem.
Your arguments are bizarre, I'm really sorry to put it that way.
