@the_great_monkey the regular link to that Lion question is "http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/17759/what-tiny-thing-in-lion-makes-you-smile-or-has-caught-you-off-guard"
i'm having a hard time googling this: in Chrome (dev), when i follow a link from some google search results then hit the back button, it tries to connect to it forever and never goes back. is this a known issue?
@KyleCronin yeah I saw MG's tweets before I installed Chrome Dev, but I decided to try it out anyway. I've had no problems with it besides this one issue. It's smooth and fast. I haven't had a ton of tbs open yet though.
@VxJasonxV yeah, I was just curious about that web badge identi.ca/notice/80278025 after sticking my nose into an old meta question about the logo for Ask Different
@Nathan kicking the ball around before I jot anything in meta, do you think it'll be useful to have full-disk-encryption with a synonym fde?
@Nathan I can't think of any at the moment. It was a kitchen sink thought this morning. Just planning ahead and fishing now to get a feel of how people react to tags. I'm generally not a fan of tags but love the way it's managed in a stack like this
@Nathan my guess, it might first become applicable if/when someone uses Core Storage to increase the capacity of a Time Capsule (I don't have a TC but I guess that a peripheral USB disk can be attached).
I have this hunch that when Apple updated support.apple.com/kb/HT4522 telling people to stop using Disk Utility, there's something Core Storage-friendly hidden in current or upcoming product lines
[I heard you guys all saying, "gee, I wish there were more meta posts from CHAOS for me to weigh in on," so I thought I'd oblige!]
We are toying with the idea of putting ads for Ask Different on Stack Overflow. Specifically, they'd go on the [osx] and [ios] tag pages, or perhaps on questions wit...
@GrahamPerrin Isn't full volume encryption a more correct term? All the crypto <strike>zealots</strike> enthusiasts have a valid point that the whole disk isn't encrypted in Lion.
@Nathan I've been known to come up with a question that just begs a tag get created :-) one or twice ;-)
@GrahamPerrin I can't wait to see what shows up to fill in for all the ZFS sexiness that was left untapped....
Wow. Really? Apple updated the installer. But nothing to do with the software itself.
(I speak of the "Install Xcode.app" installer, btw.) I mean, I appreciate it, that "hang after telling you iTunes must be closed" was frustrating, but, yeesh.
@bmike interesting question … Disk Utility is (pleasantly) dumbed-down to refer to volumes as disks and so on; the manual page for diskutil uses the expression full disk encryption (FDE); en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_disk_encryption redirects to disk encryption blah blah disk or disk volume.
you know, I don't know that I've ever been in this situation. What do I do about someone who's answer is really identical to mine, but I answered half an hour earlier?
The terminal underpinnings in OS X are the same as those used in Linux. What you are specifically looking for is commonly referred to as "Shell Scripting".
The default shell when you open Terminal.app (located in /Applications/Utilties) is the bash shell.
OS X has had a built-in shell handler a...
The equivalent of the Console or Command Prompt in Windows is the Terminal app located in /Applications/Utilities/
The equivalent of DOS (or whatever they're calling it these days) is "bash"
The equivalent of a batch file (.bat) in Windows is a shell script (.sh)
Just do a Google search for "b...
@VxJasonxV I'd take it as flattery. New user (possibly), even if the structure of your answer was totally ripped off - the wording is enough different that at least some effort was made to
customize the post. Best to take the highest road when there's any doubt. It becomes painfully obvious if it is really a pattern over time.
but we're working on getting moderators access to those twitter accounts so they can do stuff with them other than just have them tweet questions at intervals
@GrahamPerrin I personally don't see a need for a generic tag unless we get a raft of questions where it is obvious that PGP whole disk / alternate boot volume obfuscation / encryption is of interest to the more than a handful of people.

@KyleCronin that's confusing. I can't imagine 100 stars in a chat as sparse as this, but perhaps. I could see 20 stars total across at lease 10 comments making more sense. 9 one star wonders and one gut bustingly funny mega 11 star comment.
I think I still disagree, because it infers you can then keep using your browser if you just switch spaces, which is not the case, technically-speaking.
@VxJasonxV, because I set it to be. It was SF, but I wanted to join the Choppertar event without changing my gravatar for the main site. So I changed my gravatar on a site I never use.
I made a xib file, but all I can get is either iPad or iPhone view. How can I make it so that the size is the same as a modal view form sheet?
