    With today's shitty economy and the multitudes of "web developers" who are out of a job, the wayback machine is a real life saver.
    Most of the projects i've worked on the last few years have gone bunkrupt for this or that reason. The sites themselves were tecnicaly fine, and there would be no way for me to prove i've done them if it wasn't for the way back machine. My CV/Resume would have been reduced 50% if i couldn't back up a project description with a url..... It's not the developers fault people can't run their company (or actually, CAN run it, but only towards the ground....)
    And besides, we've all witnessed some of the dumbest ideas ever been put online in the name of 'business'... how else can we teach our children about 'stupidity' if we can't show them those blunders? eh?

    "If we worked on it, we want to show it off" (mao tse bong)
