Case Sensitive (Distance Learning)

Implies that some systems have additional security features which allow the user to use caps lock or remove caps lock (upper-case) or remove caps lock (lower-case). Security will require the specified case to be used consistently. Ex. YJK789 is a password, notice that the YJK are upper case. Should the user try to use yjk789, the password will not be accepted if the system is case sensitive. Systems using case sensitive features usually alert users to this.

Case Sensitive (Internet)

Capital letters (upper case) retrieve only upper case. Most search tools are not case sensitive or only respond to initial capitals, as in proper names. It is always safe to key all lower case (no capitals), because lower case will always retrieve upper case. Which search engines have this?

Case Sensitive (Linux, Red Hat)

Of or relating to the handling of character casing in data input and output. UNIX™ and UNIX-compatible operating systems (such as Red Hat Linux) are case-sensitive in that they treat the same defined term differently if the terms are not cased identically (such as foo and FOO).

Case Sensitive (Technology)

A phrase used to describe whether letters are typed in uppercase or lowercase. Some computer programs and network services are "case sensitive," meaning "XYZ" is considered different data than "xyz".
