The FS code could even watch the operations and move files accessed more often into quicker areas. The other offshoot of this idea is that a directory also stores blocks of free space, which are aggregated on the fly and allocated to files when needed. Taking inspiration from the Unix FS method of storing the first ten inodes in a table within the directory structure itself, for really small files it might even be possible to store the contents of the file in the directory for the ultimate in zero redirection. Of course, you wouldn't want them to be very big, or changing very often, but it's an idea. See what happens.
Life goes on.
Went to Netizen's disintegration party - felt like, well, a straight boy at a goth club, really. But mostly just the feeling of being someone who's amongst good friends who can't be bothered meeting new people when they're having fun with the old people. Job search goes on. I'm not suggesting removing all paradigms that remind us of the physical representation of our objects. I personally think the idea of having memory and disk as one single space makes about as much sense as trying to go down to the chemist in a 747 or trying to get to another continent by scooter.
