Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and I have been working long hours to fix this issue I'm having with Netflix instant watch. I have the Silverlight plugin installed and have my account opted-in, but I get the DRM 8152 error.

Now I was reading at 1 thread I saw at Insanelymac Forums and people posted up several AppleSMBIOS.kext and SMBIOSEnabler.kext files as well as a networking kext of some kind.

I downloaded all of these with no luck, I'm running Vanillia kernel 9.5.0 with 10.5.5 OS X.

Any help or info would be great

Thanks,
ZB

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

So I bought a Macbook about a year ago... and I have had nothing but problems with it. My cd-drive stopped working once, I got it replaced (warantee), then it died again, but I rarely use it so I didn't bother with it until my harddrive died and I couldn't DO anything about it... I got them both replaced and then went abroad. I asked apple to replace my computer before I left because it had fulfilled the 3 strike rule, but they said they wouldn't replace it then because i had called in my drive and my harddrive as one problem... so I went to Germany and after a couple weeks started having trouble with kernel panics. I called again and did the software fix, but it didn't work, so I was told to assume it was a hardware problem. They were willing to replace it, but because I am in Germany they couldn't send me a new American machine replacement without it costing me some $500 in shipping (because the item being shipped is so expensive it has to be insured). I was supposed to stay here a year, so I was told that if I went through with the plan to replace it, I'd be compensated for the shipping costs... they just weren't sure how. The woman said she would get back to me, she never did...

Plans changed, and it turns out I'm returning to the states in January. I called Apple again and I told them I'd suffer through the kernel panics until then, then give the computer in, prove there are problems with the logic board (because that's the only reason i can think that my visual drive would die 2x, my harddrive once, and start having kernel panics...), and get a replacement (with a pretty new aluminum macbook!).

This morning I went to take a shower and a drink that was sitting a good 3 feet away from my computer got knocked over by the crossbreeze (tall bottle). I didn't hear it, and when I got back from my shower I realized that my computer was soaked... My screen was still on, so I figured it hadn't gotten inside (i have a key cover), but when i went to get my plastic cover off, the screen went blue. I quickly turned the power off and flipped it upside down to take the battery out and the power had come undone at some point... and now it's sitting drying out. I tried to turn it on, no luck. I will leave it to dry completely, but I fear that the iced tea (curse you, delicious crystal light!) has been the last chapter in the story of the life of my Macbook.

Here's the thing. Apple was going to replace it anyway. It's on their records that I was to give in my computer anyway to get it replaced, they just needed to check to make sure there really was a problem with the logic board...

Is there ANY hope whatsoever that Apple will be able to tell that there were previous problems with the logic board, before the great flood? Is there any hope that they will still replace it? I'm computer-less until I get home regardless (internet café ftw), but it's a matter of if I'm going to have to put away the money for a new computer... :(

pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/salesforce_logo.jpg" width="150" /These are reflections from having spent a few days at a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_puts_on_suit_dances_with_salesforce.php"the annual Salesforce.com event/a, Dreamforce. We hope they are valuable to people who need an executive summary-level understanding of the company and its position in the cloud and SaaS marketplace. Full disclosure, the company paid for my flight and hotel to attend Dreamforce./p p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12618amp;cb=12618' target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12618amp;n=12618' border='0' alt='' align="right" //a/p h21. They Are Ambitious/h2 pSalesforce wants to be the dominant cloud platform for business. Their view is that computing has seen two waves: the first was the mainframe, and then the PC client server, and now the third is cloud computing. They have been consistent about this since their inception in March 1999, so this is no recent bandwagon hopping./p h22. They Have a Good Shot at Meeting This Ambition/h2 pThey have a powerful mix of capability and relentless focus. They have the resources -- cash, cash flow, clients, track record, management team, and so on -- needed to execute on this vision. Their competitors are bigger, but Salesforce has the advantage of focus. They are pure play, and they have no legacy to protect./p h23. They Are a Marketing Machine with Flair/h2 pHaving attended a few big rah-rah events, such as Java One, I see that Dreamforce compares well on scale, details, and flair. Its messaging and visuals were consistent and powerful, and everything just worked well. This all costs a lot of money (which relates to the next point), but that money has to be well spent, and they seem to be doing that. The presentations had real flair and humor. Benioff knows how to be controversial to get press. They are a billion-dollar business that still acts like a start-up. Even the music was good./p h24. Their Biggest Issue Is Maybe Price/h2 pThere are many lower-cost competitors to their base CRM application. Now that SaaS is increasingly accepted, due in part to Salesforce's evangelical marketing, smaller competitors spending a tiny fraction of what they spend on marketing can undercut them. Their most visible competitor is Zoho, and it does not look like Zoho is going to shy away from this battle, and they have staying power. So Salesforce is fighting on two fronts. On the one hand they are competing with Oracle and SAP for big enterprise accounts. On the other hand they are fighting low-cost competitors, such as Zoho. This will require all their marketing and management skills./p h25. They See Today's Troubled Economy as Their Moment to Win Big/h2 pThey got their early big traction in the last downturn around 2001 and 2002 and have never looked back. They are greedy while others are fearful. They spend more, grow, and hire, while other firms lay off people. The basic economic advantages of cloud computing, such as lower capital expenditures and a faster time to market, resonate in a downturn to the point that they overcome the resistance of conservative buyers to cloud computing./p h26. Their Vendor Eco-System Is Making Money and Acting Bullish/h2 pSalesforce knows that this matters. This is the lesson they learned from Microsoft. Will they move into the spaces currently occupied by vendors? Of course they will. Vendors will have to be agile; that is just how the game works. But today, in these tough markets, we see vendors that are profitable, growing, hiring, and raising money. The winners in many segments are being defined now. It is a great time to be an entrepreneur in this space. Salesforce knows how to leverage all its capability to make a few winners do very well and then promote that success big time, thus inspiring others to come on board./p h27. They Believe That Good Software Design Matters to the Core Economics of Cloud Computing/h2 pThey refer constantly to their "multi-tenant kernel," which sounds very techie for a such a marketing-driven company. It does appear that they are not suffering from the scaling and reliability problems that we have seen affecting consumer Web 2.0 ventures such as Twitter and Facebook./p h28. They Also Know How to Partner with Big Companies to Make Themselves Look Bigger/h2 pThey wheeled out large companies, such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon, as partners. The message was, "We are at the center of an eco-system with big partners." This makes large conservative enterprise buyers feel comfortable./p h29. Focused Research and Development/h2 pThey have a predictable and focused RD plan, with a major theme each year. This again makes large conservative buyers feel comfortable: they know what to expect./p h210. They Will Need to be Careful About Usability Issues/h2 pThey are adding so much functionality and so many partners that they face the danger of users getting confused and going to simpler point solutions. That "hairball-of-complexity" problem bedeviled Microsoft as it grew fast, but Microsoft enjoyed a lock-in that Salesforce cannot count on. The SaaS world is naturally lock-in resistant, with low switching costs. There is no sign of this being an immediate problem for the company, but it is something they will have to look out for./p pemSee also our most recent story about Salesforce: a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/salesforcecom_says_hello_world.php"Salesforce.com Says Hello World/a./em/p stronga href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/10_things_to_know_about_salesf.php#comments-open"Discuss/a/strong pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/VDwvJkdlOx5CS7d3oaKdfTeEVY4/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/VDwvJkdlOx5CS7d3oaKdfTeEVY4/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=2QSai9Lu"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=1035" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=6qIM9dm4"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=dh81zI4o"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=dh81zI4o" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=44YBFRrw"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=44YBFRrw" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=wpXJu7EK"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=wpXJu7EK" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=43snpZMP"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=SmnNnAuC"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=1034" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/readwriteweb/~4/rxlf0yfKnL0" height="1" width="1"/

Hey guys, I have had recent sucess installing ideneb onto this PC i am posting on now, but with my laptop I've ran into a few probs.
Specs are: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/noteboo...176064p,00.htm

I think I've isolated it down to the chipset. I know that the board (Well, i think i know) runs a PM965 Intel chipset. AFAIK, that means i have to tick the ICH fix patches on install? Cause if i don't, after install it hangs on boot. If i do, the following occurs:

I also selected the NVInject GO drivers and away I went. Vanilla kernel i used as well.

The problem is, it installs fine, reboots, loads up and then the screen goes all funky, almost as if someones kicked it, or like a powerpoint transition or something. Then it locks up and it's game over.

I've tried with all the different Nvidia patches to no avail. If i don't put in a chipset it just hangs, put in the ICH that happens, and i tried a Marvell patch for a laugh and it hung as well.


Any ideas? I'll post verbose if it helps. But on this install currently only selected the ICH patch, left GFX off.

Many thanks, sorry for the rant.

Totti

Publication Date: 2008 Nov 17 PMID: 19015141br/Authors: Yip, K. Y. - Gerstein, M.br/Journal: Bioinformaticsbr/br/MOTIVATION: An important problem in systems biology is reconstructing complete networks of interactions between biological objects by extrapolating from a few known interactions as examples. While there are many computational techniques proposed for this network reconstruction task, their accuracy is consistently limited by the small number of high-con dence examples, and the uneven distribution of these examples across the potential interaction space, with some objects having many known interactions and others few. RESULTS: To address this issue, we propose two computational methods based on the concept of training set expansion. They work particularly effectively in conjunction with kernel approaches, which are a popular class of approaches for fusing together many disparate types of features. Both our methods are based on semisupervised learning and involve augmenting the limited number of gold-standard training instances with carefully chosen and highly condent auxiliary examples. The rst method, prediction propagation, propagates highly con dent predictions of one local model to another as the auxiliary examples, thus learning from information-rich regions of the training network to help predict the information-poor regions. The second method, kernel initialization, takes the most similar and most dissimilar objects of each object in a global kernel as the auxiliary examples. Using several sets of experimentally veried protein-protein interactions from yeast, we show that training set expansion gives a measurable performance gain over a number of representative, state-of-the-art network reconstruction methods, and it can correctly identify some interactions that are ranked low by other methods due to the lack of training examples of the involved proteins.

Arjan van de Ven from Intel Open source centre has posted the news that http://kerneloops.org has recorded its 100,000 oops. An oops in the Linux kernel is a deviation from correct behavior of the Linux kernel which produces a certain error log. kerneloops is a client side software that helps record oops more automatically on the website with the same name and is available as part of many distribution repositories and even included by default in Fedora. This is part of the QA efforts in the Linux kernel and when posting the news, Arjan has noted that Linux kernel developers have been fixes most of the top oopses quickly

Linux and other Unix-like operating systems use the term swap to describe both the act of moving memory pages between RAM and disk. It is common to use a whole partition of a hard disk for swapping. However, with the 2.6 Linux kernel, swap files are just as fast as swap partitions. Now, many admins (both Windows and Linux/UNIX) follow an old rule of thumb that your swap partition should be twice the size of your main system RAM. Let us say I’ve 32GB RAM, should I set swap space to 64 GB? Is 64 GB of swap space really required? How big should your Linux / UNIX swap space be?
