^^ "A highly recoverable file system"? Just cause we macboys don't care about the insides of the system doesn't mean we are dumb losers.

And yes, you can do an on the fly 256bit encryption for the backup.

If the FS headder is written to multiple locations(or even to an external medium) its possible to ensure that the File System can easily be recovered. You might call it toomuch, but a lingeek is always a geek in every feild. I am also a self confessed Nerd apart from being a geek.

On the fly 256 bit encryption ? Thats age old, based on simple data or passwords. I meant biometric data based encryption. For example, just place your thumb on the biometric scanner pad of your laptop and the thumb print will be used to encrypt the data. Bytes will be re-formed using some complex equations with the biometric data(or the marks in your thumb) being the value of the variable used to decrypt the FS.

^^ whats your point d00d? people want a place to backup their data.. they dont want startrek gizmos.

 

[aryayush]

Milind is absolutely right. There is no such thing as a "recoverable file system".

You're pretending to be a geek. Weird.

I just told about simple to implement stuff that I expected Apple to include.
These very much exist, and just because they are a bit hi tech, does not make them startrek gizmos. Besides, isn't Mac supposed to be the best and most advanced hardware according to apple ? I just want to learn more about this curious little niche product, so I decided to ask questions here. I guess I expected too much from Apple. Any problems in that ?

I can recover data from an FS if its headder is lost, by placing extra headders for safety.

anyway, forget all this sh!t. Whats the point in discussing 2040 products ?

Can you show us any product which already uses these thing you said which is affordable to common home users?

 

[goobimama]

Also, did I tell you about the story where I logged into someone else's machine using my thumb?

I told I xpected it from apple, thats all. Don't over do this.

Here is a new topic for discussion:

Panther. Tiger. Leopard. Cheetah. Next what ?

Also, did I tell you about the story where I logged into someone else's machine using my thumb?

I am intrested

 

[goobimama]

I am interested

There's nothing to it. This guy was showing off his lenovo laptop with the fingerprint reader. And I though woah, let me try and see how it rejects mine. Next thing you know I'm logged into his system and can even sign into web pages and such! He disabled that feature since.

As for the next name for the OS, I think it's going to be Lion? Though it could very well be Goobi!

 

[drgrudge]

^ ^
Even I thought so! Lion is the only Cat family they missed out. OS X Goobi 10.6. Ahh! Sounds cool.

But lion does not sound as cool as the rest. what about Jaguar ?

 

[RCuber]

Jaguar already taken

Mac OS X Public Beta "Kodiak"
Mac OS X v10.0 "Cheetah"
Mac OS X v10.1 "Puma"
Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar"
Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther"
Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger"
Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard"

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mac_OS_X

 

[goobimama]

Leopard didn't either. It felt out of place since everyone was on Tiger. Now suddenly it makes complete sense.

 

[preshit.net]

I'm all for Mac OS 10.6 Goobi ( You know, that one. No, not mama )

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Leopard didn't either. It felt out of place since everyone was on Tiger. Now suddenly it makes complete sense.

Leopard WAS quite good. It was taken rather well by most people.

look at this:
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_cat#Species

there is no other big cat left ecept lion

 

[drgrudge]

Ok, we can take a pledge. To hell with what Apple names OS X 10.6. We'll call it Goobi.

Any votes for Mac OS X 10.6 "Goobi" ?

 

[goobimama]

Killer feature? Sleep! "We at Apple realised that people don't sleep as much, they keep using their macs all the time. So with Goobi, the Mac goes to sleep whenever it feels like you should too, and for long stretches at a time. Buy a Mac, buy sleep"
*This has nothing to do with Goobi the cat sleeping 25 hours a day.

 

[RCuber]

I want Mac OS X 10.6 "Aloo Goobi"

BTW you guys tried gigasmilies on os x? :-s
