Soooo good! I copy the "trick" here, to have it available, in case that page disappears: "push the power button 10 times in a row at one second intervals. Next, you push and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then you put the battery back in and push the power button… and she lives. The computer came back, good as ever"

  Domain parking often vandalises the Archive record for a domain with their robots.txt. It's far better that it's recorded in multiple places plus archive.org

    does robots.txt apply retroactively though? That would be bad..

      At one point, it did. I'm not sure about now.

        It was archive.org's attempt at automating "please remove X from the archive" but I don't think it was entirely successful and I think they may have stopped doing it. The idea was if you decided you didn't want /cats.html archived you'd robot.txt it, archive.org would notice, and delete the archive; but it also meant if the domain changes and robots.txt just blocked everything, everything would be lost.
