Quit trolling. Clearly it's the founder's decision how many hours to work, not PG's.

It's actually really easy. Just tell "slurp" where to download the original file, and you'll be redirected to the ipaper version of that document. It can be any file format that Scribd supports :) Syntax: http://www.scribd.com/slurp?url=

It's worth pointing out that the comment was clearly a joke from a friend of Gabor, and that it was probably deleted because it could be misinterpreted.

While we're on the topic (and since it seems this went almost unnoticed on HN yesterday), CBS announced its intent to acquire Cnet for $1.8 Billion yesterday: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/15/cbs-to-acquire-cnet-for...

It's worth noting that due to the separation of pro- options it appears like the board is divided down the center when, in reality, more than 2 out of 3 voters (about 68%) are in favor of Scribd support!

And maybe it was just Matt's hangover, but DHH never said "500 x $40 = $125,000." The slide actually says 400 customers @ $40/mo = $200,000/year, as you can see in the video ( http://omnisio.com/startupschool08/david-heinemeier-hansson-...

It took nearly 1000 words to say this is all a gut feeling? Can you dismiss their 65 billion page views a month? The fact that half of their users return daily? Can you explain why it's not valuable to essentially own most interpersonal
