Why is it useless (I've never worked with robots.txt)? Are the /css and /js files not large enough to bother skipping?
Blocking /css and /js makes sense because they don't add value in being crawled. Not necessary, but doesn't hurt.
Best practice: Always have a robots.txt file, even if it's empty.

# robots.txt # # This file is to prevent the crawling and indexing of certain parts # of your site by web crawlers and spiders run by sites like Yahoo! # and Google. By telling these "robots" where not to go on your site, # you save bandwidth and server resources.

Wouldn't that be ironic - If a large number of visitors were using Firefox, Safari & Chrome?
