Preventing a kext being called on boot

Hi,
I'm just on a drive to cut down on Console messages - at the end of the day, makes it easier to see genuine errors when they appear. So, when I see the following:
/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/InternalModemSup port.kext - no code for running kernel's architecture.
This is surely because Mac Pros boot into a 64-bit kernel by default, and the InternalModemSupport.kext is 32-bit, I'm guessing. So, is there an Apple-sanctioned - or at the very least, harmless - way of preventing the system from calling this kext on boot?
In the same vein, does anyone know what the MonitorControl_drv.kext does? It is listed with the same error on boot. It's possibly related to ColorEyes Display Pro, but I'm not 100% sure.
Many thanks,
S.

I think you should try disagreeing with Apple since they state that only MPs 2010 and later boot the 64-bit kernel by default. MPs from 2008 on do not boot it by default unless running XServe 10.6 or later. See OS X v10.6- Macs that use the 64-bit kernel.
Although yours may boot the 64-bit kernel by default it can run using the 32-bit kernel. 32-bit kexts are included because of the many Mac models that do not have a 64-bit EFI boot ROM. They can run 64-bit code but cannot boot the 64-bit kernel (my 2006 MP is a good example.) Also, it's a modem driver for an internal modem. Internal modems do not run 64-bit code just like some older GPUs that require 32-bit only drivers.
I fail to understand why Option c is in any way rude. Regardless of what you want to do, you still have to consider what is actually doable. It was quite polite and respectful unlike your rebuke.
I am unfamiliar with the other kext but presumably the same options for IOSerialFamily. kext would apply.

In Pre-Exit, prevent method from being called

I have created an enhancment for a webdynpro component. Then, I have defined a pre-exit for a method in the component controller. Inside the pre-exit, I do a couple of checks, and depending on them, I would like to skip the processing of the method for which I have define the pre-exit. Is this possible?
I thought of the RETURN statement, but this won't help. RETURN will jump out of the pre-exit, but not out of the method.
my-pre-exit-of-method-SET_MY_VALUE.
IF some_condition = some_value.
"prevent the method SET_MY_VALUE from being called. but how??
ENDIF.
end-of-pre-exit.

I just find out how to circumvent this...
The trick is to use "Overwrite exit". Add your own codes. Depending on your conditions, you can call back the original method. But when you call the original method, you need to use the syntax:
me->original_method(...)
Do not use:
wd_this->original_method(...)
Using "me" will only call the original method; using "wd_this" will trigger your overwrite exit which means this will jump to a recursive call to your own exit; This will certainly drain the resources of your system indefinitely until it dumps.

How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
From Apple
2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

Is there a way to send an email and prevent it from being forwarded

Is there a way to send an email and prevent it from being forwarded

Not with the most common email systems - webmail, POP, SMTP or IMAP.
The only email system I know of that can prevent forwarding (or copying or printing) is Lotus Notes (now called IBM Notes). I believe it can technically be done within an MS Exchange environment, but I have never actually seen it implemented in one.

Possible way to prevent basic questions being asked repeatedly

hi,
could this be a possible way to prevent basic questions being asked repeatedly (and to encourage search before post) (may be atleast for newcomers to the forum, to minimize one-liner questions).
when a user tries to post the question, as the user types or in the preview screen or before he clicks on the submit button, the SCN should show the similar questions/threads (or atleast threads with exactly the same text) asked/discussed before.
then the forum user might click on the links, instead of posting a new one, as the answer could be readily available in existing threads.
this functionality i have seen in yahoo answers.
if you go to answers.yahoo.com and ask a very simple question like

I also think it is a cool idea, but unfortunately the "no brainers" are a small group in my experience and will not be detered by this.
We are using a new secret weapon in the past weeks against repeat offenders. Please use the Abuse Report button to report such basic questions when the person is "hard of hearing".
As a side note, also consider that some people are not fluent in English. Or even have no English language skills and use enterpreters. That is of course no reason to be a pain and break the rules (cross-posting, etc) but it does explain isolated misunderstandings.
I once called a repeat offender on the phone because he posted his telephone number in the forums. He could hardly speak any English at all, let alone write it...

Can you make core center automatically close after being called on startup?

Can you make core center automatically close after being called on startup so it can set cpu fan speed to a slower fixed speed then exit?
If core center really cant do such a simple task then can speedfan or another program?

Quote from: bassmadrigal on 13-July-05, 07:42:36
Why don't you want them running. Speedfan has a very small footprint.
Just seems unnecesary seeming as it does its task as soon as it runs and its changes then stay applied. Speed fan is probably better but core center takes 10mb.
Quote from: syar2003 on 13-July-05, 07:57:02
You dont have to have it running to set a user specified fan rpm .
Once it's set it is stored in the corecell/cmos chip on the motherboard .(until a cmos reset) .
So to answer your question .
There is no need to have it autostarted at each boot ...
Thats how i have used it .
Only reason to have it running is with MSI's "CnQ" control of the fan , varies with the load of the processor
Thats strange for me the speed resets to default as soon as I restart my pc (about when the bios engages which is however tangibly after the graphics card fan revves up to its full speed). Depending on the temperature of the proccessor it goes to 3300rpm (less than 42c) or 4500rpm (too loud for ~45c IMO and MSIs "cool&quiet" option seems to agree, it doesn't even set it as high as 3300rpm)

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

Error : ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called

Hi
I got surprise issue while testing my Oracle code . Let me explain first the environment detail . Our appliaction built on
Java/J2EE(Weblogic) and backend is Oracle 11g re2 . While calling from java it call thru different user which have been provide
synonym and exectue option for corresponding procdure ,
I created on package EXTRACT_CUSTOMER_INFO_PK which will exract data to text file using UTL_FILE ( direcory , UTL_FILE grant is provided to DB user).
Now this package has been called from rp_execute_procedure_pr -- Here I is the code
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR
i_atlas_job_schedule_fk IN atlas_job_schedule.atlas_job_schedule_pk%TYPE,
i_job_id IN atlas_job.job_id%TYPE,
i_parm_value IN atlas_job_schedule.parm_value%TYPE,
o_status_code OUT NUMBER,
o_status_mesg OUT VARCHAR2
IS
-------Other old code which is not relevent for this issue ----
--------Other old code which is not relevent for this issue ----
----Below code I added ----
ELSIF l_job_id = 'CUST_EXTRACT' THEN
EXTRACT_CUSTOMER_INFO_PK.customer_report ( i_parm_value ,
o_status_code,
o_status_mesg ) ;
-- o_status_code := -99999999;
--o_status_mesg := 'PARTHA PARTHA PARTHAcess terminated!';
ELSE
o_status_code := -20300;
o_status_mesg := 'Job Id : ' || l_job_id || ' NOT found. Process terminated!';
END IF;
update_log_auto
ajs_rec.atlas_job_schedule_pk ,
'Processing End Time (GMT): '
EXCEPTION
WHEN eProcError THEN
o_status_code := SQLCODE;
o_status_mesg := SUBSTR(vMsg ||'-'||SQLERRM, 1, 200);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
o_status_code := -20300;
o_status_mesg := SUBSTR(SQLERRM, 1, 200);
update_log_auto
ajs_rec.atlas_job_schedule_pk ,
'Error : '||SQLERRM||' '
update_log_auto
ajs_rec.atlas_job_schedule_pk,
'Processing End Time (GMT): '
END RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR;
Now It compiled sucesfully . And while I did SIT then RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR run fine and extracted txt file . But while I called it from Java procedure It gives us error like
Error : ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called 02-AUG-2012 13:16:51.
As I told RP_EXECUTE_PROCEDURE_PR old proc and used by other proc , So I first suspect issue is newly added code or may be some grant or synonym ( Although it should not be )
so I created public synony amd gave execute grant to my pkg to public .
But it repeat same error .
I did lot of R&D on my pkg but nothing happen . Finally I remane my new pkg RP_EXTRACT_CUSTOMER_INFO_PK and it works fine
I need to know what is the RCA for it . I donot think any dependecy issue as renaming pkg is working fine .
NB my DB user is iATLAS and Javauser is SUDEEP
Thanks in Advance
Debashis Mallick

First of all If i run the main procedure in like below in my Schema it is working fine
begin
-- Call the procedure
rp_execute_procedure_pr(i_atlas_job_schedule_fk => :i_atlas_job_schedule_fk,
i_job_id => :i_job_id,
i_parm_value => :i_parm_value,
o_status_code => :o_status_code,
o_status_mesg => :o_status_mesg);
end;
So thre is no question of parameter .... or Invalid state etc . If it is parameter or Invalid state issue it will give other error.
Here problem is not syntax issue .
let me give u more detail regards this issue
1.. All objects corresponding to procedure all Valid
2.. If I test on the proc on my schema like above code . It works fine
3.rp_execute_procedure_pr is a old procudere which called for differner report generartion based on parameter passing . Also as extract_customer_info_pk called with in rp_execute_procedure_pr So there is no question of synonym or privilage issue for new procedure.
4. Suprising thing is if I rename and recreate package like extract_customer_info_pk _1 or rp_extract_customer_info_pk . Which are exactly same as extract_customer_info_pk and replace those new one with extract_customer_info_pk then it work fine in my java application
I think I make it clear the issue

I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."
