- kirubakaran 18y ago+1 as 'thanks', but the original link is derivable from the Scribd link.
- dpapathanasiou 18y agoConsider it a public service for people who don't know calculus ;)
- kirubakaran 18y agoOkay, obligatory +1 for the smartass comment ;)
- tsuraan 18y agoHow? The url is http://www.scribd.com/full/2981072?access_key=key-pfh187fj76orxxowu3v http://www.scribd.com/full/2981072?access_key=key-pfh187fj76... ; how do I get the PDF from that? My computer isn't a dual-core multiple gigahertz monster; scribd brings it to its knees.

- kirubakaran 18y agoWhile most of the general people like well insulated airplanes with reclining leather seats and other nice features, most of us here like stripped down fighter jets that can steer like a ninja. (oops, got carried away) Scribd is a great product, but it is not suitable for PDFs posted in Hacker News, may be?
- bugmenot 18y agoBlame the moderators. The guidelines quite clearly state "If you submit a link to a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title." However, YCombinator funded websites seem to be exempt.
