antsam··on "Space Jam" Website Still Online
This is one of the first websites I visited as a kid! I love the "Fifth Element" reference in the code.
antsam··on Name.com hijacks non-existent subdomains and redirects to their servers
This is generally why I stay clear of using the "free DNS" provided by registrars. But then again, they can still be more reliable than hosting your own.
antsam··on Apple’s Official Technician Guide Leaked for the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S
"Make them buy a new iPhone."
antsam··on How to land an airplane if you are not a pilot
"Don't worry guys, I read about landing a plane once on the Internet."
antsam··on Tron Legacy (2010)
One more Tron movie please.
antsam··on Worst Bug Ever
I spent a few hours debugging an OpenGL program I was working on only to realize that I forgot to account for normalized coordinates. All I had to do was individually multiply x and y by the canvas size.

Always start with the small, obvious stuff first!

antsam··on Youth expelled from Montreal college after finding security flaw
Found a bug like this at my school and reported it a few months ago. The guy who responded to me said he'd fix it but it's still live :(
antsam··on Google's text-to-speech engine randomly inserts phrase "he now praises the ipad"
Still works better than iOS Maps did at least.
antsam··on Playable Mario Game as a blog background
Wow, I used to chat on an IRC server that guy hosted on this domain. Small world.

antsam··on Papa John's faces $250 million spam lawsuit
I'm waiting to see how they can blame this on employee health insurance.
antsam··on RedisToGo is now offering Redis Hosting in AWS US-West-2
Too bad our beautiful West Coast is also prone to earthquakes :(
antsam··on Kim Dotcom
I wish I could have marked my comment as sarcasm. (Kim is a terrible singer and approaching Trump levels of annoying)
antsam··on Kim Dotcom
Kim needs to put out an album already.
antsam··on Using the HTML5 Fullscreen API for Phishing Attacks
Hm. As soon as I clicked it, Firefox (or possibly one of my plugins) gave me a warning that feross.org was trying to enter into full screen mode.
antsam··on Ask HN: How did Facebook initially limit users to universities?
You had to have an e-mail address from a University at the time. There probably isn't anything more robust for checking if you're enrolled at a certain University than having to click a link sent to your University e-mail.
antsam··on Cable lacing on the Curiosity rover
An entire forum about knot tying?! Sign me up!
antsam··on Securing Stripe's Capture the Flag
There's still time (I think) and it's surprisingly easy once you realize what you're supposed to do!
antsam··on Securing Stripe's Capture the Flag
Really enjoyed the CTF, thanks for hosting it! Had to run my code twice to get the last chunk on level 8, not sure why though... Was it jitter? Also, will you be sending confirmation e-mails for the t-shirts?
antsam··on Released footage of the police raid on the Kim Dotcom mansion
Well, he was really good at "Call of Duty" apparently. Maybe they were concerned about his "mad skillz?"
antsam··on Released footage of the police raid on the Kim Dotcom mansion
Kim seems a bit douchey at times but all the man power they put into this raid seemed a bit overkill.
antsam··on Microsoft Studios in Vancouver, BC lays off all 35 staff
"Microsoft Studios has shut down its Vancouver office and laid off all 35 staff. Also halted MS Flight and Project Columbia"

"Important clarification re Microsoft layoffs - a statement from MS clarifies they still have several teams in Van/Vic. More soon...."

First we lost Radical then we lost Rockstar, now we lost a Microsoft Studio. Sad times for our city.

antsam··on Microsoft Officially Launches Its New Angel Fund And Incubator Program
The "Pitch" page asks for a US address though :(
antsam··on Today, a homeless looking man handed me $50 and this note
So... the Zodiac killer is handing out $50 bills in NYC?
antsam··on Introducing ccv, a modern computer vision library
I probably missed it but how do you train more faces with your library?
antsam··on Radical Entertainment, Vancouver mainstay, shutting doors.
This is really sad new, Radical was a staple of Vancouver :(
antsam··on The best investment I never made
Getting the same warning here, Firefox won't even let me load the page.
antsam··on Paul Graham Says...
You could call a daily Paul Graham quote app "InstaGraham."

I want 1% equity if that idea takes off ;)

antsam··on What makes one appear smarter and more sociable?
I guess all future photos of me will have to be full body shots, with five o'clock shadow, outside, smiling, and died gray hair.
