Whoops. Maybe I'm wrong. Says right there on the logo that its in labs. Huh.
Code search isn't part of labs. If it doesn't have a googlelabs.com address, it's probably not affected by this.
What, you don't write all your code that way?
As for the future, well, digital copies are actually a LOT harder to preserve long term. I myself have files that I can no longer open, because I no longer have a copy of the word processor "Sprint" running on MS-DOS 5.0. They're less than twenty years old, and are essentially unusable.
Well that's just short-sightedness. There are still converters for Sprint format however, and I'd be happy to convert them for you if you promise not to put them into another proprietary format.
By contrast, I once held and read a hand-written breviary from fourteenth century Italy, a good six and half centuries old and still usable. If we could find a way to archive digital information which would guarantee its usability a mere century from now, I'd rest a lot more easily.
Yeah, but I have more books on my cell-phone than currently exist from the fourteenth century.
