          Shouldn't it, at a minimum, be a yes|no|cancel type dialog?

              No, because that would make sense. Duh.

                      It's funny how you have to make shit up to make fun of a Mac, but with Windows, all you need is the actual screenshot to do the same.

                              I have an Apple, and it does not appear, ever. It's made up.

                                      Either put up or shut up.
                                      Tell us how to reproduce the error. If as you say its real then this should be easy.

                                      What characters? Lets see a screen shot.
                                      .
                                      .

                                      Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

                                          It's not real, there is never only 1 option on any dialogue box, it would acutally say Skip, Skip All, Replace, Replace All, Cancel

                                              Jokes aside, only opinion I have of Apple is... the click wheel is genius.

                                                  What characters? Lets see a screen shot.

                                                  Here's a screenshot on OS10.4.9 which gives a stop/continue dialog with the same text.

                                                  http://www.flickr.com/photos/56953868@N00/435542840/

                                                  (options are still incomplete - IMO)



                                                  Taken from WTF:

                                                  Instructions for reproducing the error on a Mac whose boot drive is formatted as normal (i.e. case-insensitive) HFS+:
                                                  (note that this will replace any file named "CaseSensitiveTest.dmg" on your desktop, if you have one and it isn't already open):
                                                  Open Terminal and type the following (on one line, if it comes through as two):

                                                  hdiutil create -size 5m -fs HFSX -volname CaseSensitiveTest -ov -attach ~/Desktop/CaseSensitiveTest.dmg


                                                  This will create and mount a case-sensitive disk image (a 5 MB case-sensitive non-journaling HFS+ volume, if you must know) whose volume name is "CaseSensitiveTest". Now copy a small file onto the disk image, then open the disk image, duplicate the file, and give the copy a name which is identical to the original, but with a different set of cases. Now drag both files onto the desktop. You will get an error from the Finder which has the exact same icon and message as shown.

                                                              Apple has never "officially" supported a Case Sensitive HFS+ volume in any official manner (note I said this twice) - it's merely an option that was there for Server, primarily, and they've outright dropped UFS support. Go go gadget nerds with too much time on their hands.

OS X steps a long long way from the sacred Apple Human Interface Guidelines, that gave Apple the 'Simple & Elegant' name. But that alert box is really taking the piss!
