A High-School Hacker's Notebook
An anonymous reader writes: "Remember those high-school lunchtimes, back in the day, when you and your computer-nerd friends would hang out by the Krunch Korral, discussing that cool computer game that you were all going to write? And one guy did the music, and one guy made the levels, and you wrote it all down in a notebook? Well, just in case you lost it, here's that notebook."
A couple of other things that should be done in addition to your ideas. 1) Only link to the 'Slash Cache' if the site is down. Check every 10 minutes to see if the site is down, and if it is display the handly Slash Cache link. If the site is reachable again, then remove the link. This solves the problem of lost banner revenue, as the site can't get banner revenue if it is dead. 2) I believe there is something in the robots.txt file (or some other config file) that Google searches for that will tell it not to cache pages. Slashdot could look for the same thing, and see if caching is allowed. This should bypass any copyright problems.
