'Storage' to Replace Traditional Filesystems?

Posted by michael on from the find-porn dept.

JigSaw writes "OSNews is reporting on Storage, an innovative project which aims to replace the traditional hierarchical filesystems with a new document store which is database-based (PostgreSQL). The current implementation, built under Gnome 2.x for now, offers natural language access, network transparency, and a number of other features. The project is currently in alpha (screenshots already available), and it is part of the next major generation of Gnome. It is currently developed by Seth Nickell, the person responsible for the enhanced Gnome usability on 2.x and its HIG, among other things."

    Which is better than having a dysfunctional, proprietary crap-pile and an opportunity to debug it.
    It's not that I mind paying for software, it's the "I've got a secret" attitude that makes me yawn.

    I am, however, a little disappointed that she refuses to let me penetrate her virgin cunt. This is mostly due to fear of pregnancy, though.

    So, fuck her up the ass. Problem solved. Bonus points for getting her to suck it clean afterwards.
