What a bunch of lame BS excuses.

Searching for "Computer Programming as an Art" the PDF comes up as the second link (below PG's rip off). Not that it's even relevant because it's given as a direct link.

A scanned PDF is a closer reproduction to the original presentation, and easier to save for later to read.

I trust the ACM's "goodwill" to continue hosting it more than I trust it to remain on PG's website.



> the PDF comes up as the second link

Sure, if you search for its title. But if you search for text within it, you'll find it doesn't come up at all.

> I trust the ACM's "goodwill" [...]

Sure. My suggestion is that Paul Graham trusts his own goodwill more than the ACM's and that that's one reason why he's put a copy on his website.
