[Tfug] More "pie in the sky"... :-/

[Matthew T. Eskes]

Wasn't that what Reiser was trying to do before he, um yeah got that itch to
do something stupid?

-- The Founding Fathers struggled for the principle that man could and
should be trusted with his own destiny. Our current /domestic/ enemies,
against whom those Americans in uniform are sworn to defend, do not believe
in this principle, but we have again won a round in the endless fight
against them.

An off the wall thought, our brains may be geared to group stuff
around things we have done (our history). The problem is those things
are probably different for each person. If a file browser made unused
folders translucent and the ones used increasingly solid in proportion
to my use, then I would be clued about the importance of the stuff, I
guess the file browser would have to keep a huge history of what I was
doing, so I'm not sure I like the idea. Probably the age of usege
could be a factor also, to set color filters, thus blue or green tint
for old usage, red for fresh (I may be using my windows SVN client a
little to much). Does Vista or Mac do this cause, I have no clue?

I know that's no help, but it would look cool.
