Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

University researchers study LinkRot. After 20 months, 18.8 percent of the total links had disappeared. Over 11 percent of dot-org links, 18.4 percent of dot-edu pages and 42.5 percent of dot-com addresses were lost since the study began. But here's the really funny part: Each month, the two spend about four hours checking the 515 hyperlinks to ensure that students have up-to-date materials... In the meantime, the two researchers are writing a grant proposal to the [National Science Foundation] to build software that can check links for faculty, and alert them by e-mail if the [URL] or content changes. Have they really not discovered that such (free) software already exists?
