How much dose[sic] this happen with usability?

probably a lot more, since "Most URL references [stand] more than a 50 percent chance of not existing after only six months." (from a Cornell study at http://www.news.cornell.edu/chronicle/00/12.14.00/web_citations.html [cornell.edu])

I did not read the article I quoted. :-)
