  1. Re:HFS+ can be case-sensitive on Cross-OS File System That Sucks Less? · · Score: 1

    Also, the last time I looked, the open source HFS+ utilities like fsck did not handle case-sensitive HFS+.

    The open source HFS+ fsck and newfs are the same ones Mac OS X uses; obviously they do support HFSX.

  2. Re:Seriously, that is sad... on smcFanControl — Cool Your MacBook Pro · · Score: 1
    I have a Pentium M in my notebook which can throttle 8 states

    And the MBP has a Core Duo that can do that with both cores, independently. Configured right, the linux kernel controls it, with or without powernowd. OS X just does it by default, of course.

  3. Re:Silly Apple stores... on Panther Released into the Wild · · Score: 1

    Dunno about the US, but there's an educational discount on OS's here (.au). 10.3 is $129, as opposed to $229 for the non-discounted version.

    > I believe you say.. "A hoax" not "AN hoax".. correct me if I'm wrong. You're wrong. At least, you're wrong if you live in a country where the official language is English, rather than American ;) I don't know what it should be in the US.

  5. Re:IPv6 on Quova Inc. Completes Trace of 4 billion IP Addresses · · Score: 3

    Yes, it probably will be easier. Unlike IPv4, IPv6 has have a strict hierachy - Large ISPs being allocated top-level blocks of addresses, giving smaller blocks to local ISPs, who in turn allocate even smaller blocks to end-users, rather than the current system which has no such restrictions. There's also the issue of using ethernet MAC addresses in the last section of the address, which would uniquely identify individual computers (and therefore attach your "fingerprint" to everything you do on the net).

  6. Re:case sensitivity - why is this a good thing? on Developer Tools For MacOS X · · Score: 1
    Say this is our directory: Foo bAR Bar

    This is impossible in HFS+. It preserves case, but is case-insensitive, so if you try to create a file called "bAR" it will overwrite "Bar".
