    Not wanting to shove something made out of algae into your mouth kinda rules out sushi, doesn't it? #gizmodoremainders

    @ratkazoo: WinFS was slow and cumbersome by its very nature. NTFS adds almost everything that it supports and its likely that WinFS will just end up being an extension on top of NTFS. #gizmodoremainders

    @Thee Sea: Frankly, I'll be pleased if more of the features get implemented, regardless of the format in which they are delivered.

    I hadn't heard about the speed issues- cleaner code should clear them up, though. #gizmodoremainders

    @ratkazoo: No, it really shouldn't. The very nature of how WinFS is set up makes basic file operation terribly slow. It needs a fundamental redesign. #gizmodoremainders

    Can't trust anything "green." Check this project out: Take advantage of balding grandpa for power. The horror. [I fail at HTML tonight.]

    So, just to clarify: Cutlery made of centuries-old, decayed carcasses = okay. Cutlery made of algae = not okay?

    This implies dinos > algae, which I'm okay with.

    @ilovexspin: Frankly, I don't care. If I was looking for women, I'd be out and about, not on the computer (I still respect their opinion, so don't read into that please).

    I happen to like Zunes like "Thee Sea". I think MS is on a roll. It's nice to see that they haven't gone completely stagnant.
