Actually, in KDE4 inotify is used to listen to file changes, so if you do move or copy a file, the annotations are moved along.
Although - clearly it still breaks if you copy it to a USB key and move it a different computer, scp it, attach it to an email, etc.
The reusable things here are not only the code, but the schematics for the phone itself and the lessons learned, i.e.
1. the gfx chip in the freerunner is worthless, it's not really open (NDA required) and the performance sucks => don't use it again,
2. Use two CPUs next time, one more powerful than the current slow one, and another tiny one to keep alive while suspended to come back quicker and be more responsive.
At least for computer science (where I publish) I think conferences have sort of filled the role journals used to have. A comp sci conference usually has the deadline about 6 months before the actual conference, and will have the proceedings printed in time for the conference. Large international conferences are now sufficiently hard to get into that a fair quality is guaranteed (WWW conference last year had 10% acceptance right I think?).
I understand that this is quite different in other fields (physics, etc.) - where conferences have deadlines only shortly before the event and often only short papers/posters? Comp.Sci. has solved the need for a less formal venue for presenting quick ideas by doing workshops.
Bottom line: No - I don't thinnk journals are needed any longer, but then again, maybe I am just bitter because I have no journal publications:)
Actually - the 1% are the users who hang around and correct grammar and punctation mistakes, they clearly make many edits because each edit is only a few chars. The majority of NEW content on the other hand is added by users who may make few other edits. Aaron writes more on this: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/whowriteswikipedia
The difference is in the underlying data-model. SPARQL queries RDF, which has URIs identifying each column, so you cannot have just "name", you need to have http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name (abbreviated to foaf:name, with a proper prefix defn.) Also, since RDF is a graph you are not just querying for DB rows, you are querying for paths through the graph, letting you query for things like "the mother of the sister of the creator of the movies with over 9 rating on IMDB" without using a JOIN syntax. (Of course, there is a join there, if thinking in RDBMS terms makes you happy, think of RDF as a large table of rows (i.e. triples) with three columns: (subject, predicate, object))
It should be obvious that SPARQL is NOT trying to invent a new syntax, in fact - the syntax is as close to SQL as possible, only changing the bits that need changing to fit with RDF.
"this is not an open API; this is a free API, owned and controlled by one company only: Google. Hopefully, the world will remember another time when Google offered a free API and then pulled it."
Make it into a Volity game! It's a bit like yahoo games, i.e. a multi-game chat/play/game-ladder thingy for board-like games. However, it's an open framework, with clients in java+svg and made multiplayer using the jabber protocol.
at AAAI, Peter Norvig, director of research at google , gave a talk, and someone asked him "how do you measure search quality?" and he told the story of how the ask jeeves people had asked him that once, because they measured it by comparing with google:)

Then he should perhaps take a trip inside himself. This article and his webpage is full of self-self-congratulatory bullshit.

The guardian brought this up:
Are downloads really killing the music industry? Or is it something else?
Although CD sales are plummeting, DVD and games sales are way up, making the entertainment industry as a whole increase it's earnings.

you could always try robocode from IBM (google for link - too lazy). It's in a java - but really quite advanced and good fun.
I love having my name associated with this, ahem.

And thats why LISP is the way forward.

Well, COBOL was hardly a language at all...
