iM8t··on $.answer=42
Is it just me, or is their analytics JS file down?
iM8t··on Kit Kat Conspiracy (2002)
This is true for all sorts of sweets and drinks outside of the US. For example - in the Baltic countries you cannot buy real Coca Cola. It sure looks like the real deal, but actually it's `a soft drink with cola flavours`.
iM8t··on Yesterday, the Internet Solved a 20-year-old Mystery
It's incredible what people can do just because of curiosity. I mean - there's no practical gain from helping another person decipher a code other than just out of curiosity. I'm fascinated by the message and the relentlessness of the person who kept the code and tried to crack it for 20yrs. This is just so cool!
iM8t··on Why Russians Are Not Smiling (2011)
We (Latvians) are actually really similar to Russians in this matter. We generally don't smile and if there's someone walking down the street with a big smile on his face - the first thing that comes to mind is: "He must be a tourist."
iM8t··on Track Europe's falling, 2,000-pound satellite in real-time
Out of curiosity: will the satellite burn up while falling down or is there a slight possibility that it could crash in a residential area?
iM8t··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
HMW: http://hmworship.com/ - on offline WEB App for song lyrics/chords.

It's really cool because most of the current chord sites lack the one critical feature for the mobile age: offline usage.

And also it's amazing because it's built entirely by volunteers and the users are evangelizing it themselves. We have never spent a dime on salaries/marketing or anything else. 100% bootstrapped.

iM8t··on Freedom Hosting sites compromised, founder arrested
Europeans point of view: Am I the only one who feels that the US is taking over the Internet and all of our privacy with it?
iM8t··on Show HN: Journal Your Life as Data with Thyself.io
I really like the idea of tracking myself (e.g. books read, weight, steps taken etc.), but as a hacker I'd never let anyone else hold this data. I mean, Facebook is one thing, but highly personal details about my personality is another thing.

That said - it would be cool to see something like this open sources. Currently I'm using excel to track most of the stuff I'm interested in, but I know that there must be a better alternative.

iM8t··on “A Dark Room” game open-sourced
This is great news. Now we will be able to implement our own ideas and make the game even more awesome.

Why not implement another planet after the UFO? Heck, lets build a whole star system with many possiblities to choose from.

iM8t··on HN front page, 16000 visitors in a day, how many actually read the article?
I tend to quickly go through the front page and bookmark the articles that I'm interested in. Then, when I have the time and I'm on my tablet - I read them.

It may be that I'm not the only person that does this kinda thing.

iM8t··on Bootstrap 3 preview
I actually like the changes. Now everyone will have to do a bit of style editing before using this. So we won't see so many identical sites.
iM8t··on Ask HN: What to know before traveling around the world?
Thanks! Only there's a small problem - I'm not a drinker. Perhaps I will try cafes.
iM8t··on Red Bull Stratos Skydive Rescheduled for today
Yes, and he will stop going up complately (vertically) after the density of helium will be equal to the density of air.
iM8t··on Show HN: Weekend project, Political Screaming Match
This is crazy, but yet amazing. I'm totally gona subscribe to the RSS feed. :)
iM8t··on Vooza
Will it run on my iPhone?
iM8t··on Dancer.js, a high level audio api to make visualizations
Sadly, the music was playing, but nothing else was going on on my galaxy tab 10.1.
iM8t··on Learn to read a binary font by reading a story
And what about UTF-8 letters (for example ā, ž, š)? How can you make them by using dotsies?
iM8t··on Protest SOPA with stopcensorship.js
Showing some support on my site: http://www.mja.lv/
iM8t··on Html5 Neonflames
This is simply amazing! Good job.
iM8t··on Better Volunteering for Web Geeks
I'm very interestedin this too, I'd like to volounteer if it's possible.
iM8t··on 7.1 magnitude earthquake hits Japan
Any live stream up already?
iM8t··on Writing code with MS Paint
Anyone knows if there's already a code to convert strings of code to images like this? It might be fun to make a few images like that.
iM8t··on Review my weekend project: Webapp to add CSS to any website and share the result
Websites with utf-8 encoding look quite silly.
iM8t··on An Architect Squeezes 24 Rooms Into 344 Square Feet (Video)
Well... This is quite cool for 1 person, but how about if a family would live in that kind of apartment? You're watching TV and suddenly your kid has to go to the bathroom..
iM8t··on Startup Death Clock
If you type in enough 9's in the "cash on hand" slot, the "middle box" will get out of bounds. Should add some JS to make the fonts a bit smaller when there are too much symbols in the row ;)
iM8t··on Save IE6
Haha, what an amazing joke. Felt for it.
iM8t··on Google to Launch Major New Social Network Called Circles, Possibly Today
People will have to choose either to use Facebook or Circle. Well... a lot of ppl won't join the Circle because there aren't all of their friends and they will simply stick to facebook. Is it just my opinion that this is going to be really exciting for the first few days and then simply die off like the amazing product - google wave?
iM8t··on Favimon: web game in which you battle and collect website favicons
Simply stupid, but yet so much fun
iM8t··on SourceForge.net Gets A Makeover
The new design looks much better than the previous. I digg it.
