'Storage' to Replace Traditional Filesystems?

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."

  2. oral sex with my girlfriend by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Greetings, Slashdotters. What follows it the true story of my first sexual experience. Being a typical Slashdot nerd, I never had much luck with females. That all changed my Sophomore year in high school when I met an attractive nerd girl that actually took some interest in me. We dated on and off for a while, but by my Senior year of high school (back in 2000), we had a pretty serious relationship. And so it came to pass that in October of 2000, I had oral sex performed on me for the first time, by my seventeen year old girlfriend.

    Now, of course, I had imagined what it would feel like, and I had watched a lot of porno and did a fair amount of masturbation, but the spectacular sensations of oral sex had really surprised me. As she sucked my cock for the first time, I was amazed by how much pleasure the warmth and the wetness gave me. Granted, she was inexperienced at this point and a little nervous, but things improved with time. One of the things that that I really enjoyed was, after sucking for a while, she'd stop for a bit and rub her face on my cock. The sensation of my already moist member rubbing against the smooth skin of her face was absolutely incredible.

    Eventually, she became, and still is, quite the eager cocksucker. In fact, she has even swallowed a few times. The first time, we were lying on my bed watching a Twilight Zone marathon. Eventually, she must have gotten a little bored with that because she slipped under the covers and started rubbing her head in my lap, getting me aroused, which didn't take very long. She pulled out my cock, and began sucking vigorously while I watched Twilight Zone... truly a geek's paradise! Anyway, it didn't take long before I felt myself reaching climax, and at this point I reached down to pull her off of my cock, but much to my surprise she pushed my hand away and took my whole load in her mouth. She kept her mouth on my cock for a while, holding my hot load in her mouth, enjoying the role of a cocksucking slut.

    An interesting thing about my girlfriend is that she enjoys sexual role-play, in a sense. She often asks me to force her to deep-throat my cock, and to slap her face a bit and tug on her hair. At first, I was a little surprised and even scared to do this, but after a while I found it rather enjoyable to feel so much control over my girlfriend. Besides, it's all play.

    Anyway, our relationship is still going strong, as is the cocksucking... she can't seem to get enough of it! 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. She doesn't seem to trust condoms too much. I guess I can understand her paranoia about the risk, and I certainly don't want children either, but I would really enjoy the feel of my cock inside her tight, moist little cunt. Maybe someday...

    Dana Edwards was feeling a little disheartened. It had been nearly a week since he'd contacted Peacecorp and applied for a tour of duty in the Congo. He had hoped all week that his weight problem, chronic acne and asthma would not discount him from the program. Dana had been in some financial strife for a couple years now, with those tuition fees from Massachusets Bay Community College piling up. This was particularly stressful for him because, despite having taught himself to read and posessing an impressive intellect, he could not find a decent slack-off job with internet connection that would support his slashdot posting habit. Dana belched while he tapped his cordless phone and stuffed his hand into a bag of Cheetos. Dana, a Jack of All Trades had also been unsuccessful for several years in his attempts to get a night DJ position at a local AM radio station within walking distance of his mother's house. This distressed him, because being a DJ would be such a natural part-time job for him, being a skilled musician on the side. Alas, he waited still and finished the last fluid ounce of his Mountain Dew.

    Peacecorp was going to change that. Where his business sense would have failed him in the Merchant Marines and his poor physical condition were not up to snuff for the military, he felt Peacecorp would welcome him with open arms and take his student loan burden off his hands.

    "Education equals genius. Genius is good for society. I'll show them, I'm going to buck the status quo. I'm going to make a difference, I'll show them what a poor kid from the ghetto is capable of." Dana thought to himself.

    Dana had not shaven for five days, but his greasy facial hair never became very thick, even after weeks of neglect. It grew in a thin, spotty Fu Manchu pattern. Best described, his whiskers resembled soot smeared on his greasy jowels. He scratched at his armpit and pulled the tightening fabric of his pajama pants out of his groin and sighed with relief.

    "Aaaah."

    Dana was glad that the weekend had finally come around. His Computer Repair Fundamentals and Sociology classes were starting to really dig in. He blamed the teacher for sucking, and was utterly convinced that his superior intellect would reward him with first in his graduating class of 40. He was certain that the same outcome would happen if he got into MIT, but that would never happen. The rich bastards would never give him a fair chance on a level playing field. The MIT bastards hate nerds, just like everybody else. That was alright though, Dana already knew he was superior to most of them anyway. Their facilities were only useful to the superficial.

    Dana loosened up a bit by putting some music on the 'juke. He got a free MP3 jukebox from his mother and slapped an "RIAA SUCKS" bumper sticker on the side of it. Dana was vehemently opposed to the ownership and licensing of intellectual property, especially music. Dana downloaded all his favourite Pink Floyd tracks off the internet and onto the jukebox, and this brought a small amount of joy to his empty life.

    "Damn the man!" he exclaimed, raising a fist as his gut flopped out of his oil-stained ThinkGeek t-shirt.

    Ice T and Fred Durst alone had practically paved the way to justified downloads of all music ever created and served up on KaZaa. And so, Dana sat in in front of his monitor listening to The Wall, waiting for a reply from Peacecorp.

    His mother slipped in to his room briefly to set down a balogna and cheese sandwich in front of him while he fired up a beta version of Transgaming on his Pentium 166 with MMX.

    "Mom, why don't you hate the RIAA?"

    She shrugged, rolled her eyes and closed the door to his room on the way out.

    "She forgot to cut off the crusts." Dana held back the tears and ate the sandwich anyway.
