Google acquires Deja.com and breaks URIs

Today's good news was that Google acquired Deja.com[1]. This is a good
news because Deja.com had less and less articles listed and more and
more banners.

We could hope that Google does something good with the archives they
just bought.

However, it didn't start that well since they have already broken the
CGI script that was used for requests... I have to update my start
page[2] with the new query. They also broke all the other URIs to the
archive, such as [3] which was linked from a previous post to fogo[4].

I am pretty scared now...

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm
really quite busy.
