Our governor in Texas recently said he is working toward decriminalization. Change is coming. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/Gov-Rick-Perr...

Unlikely. I have never had a facebook and with the exception of spotify, which now has email sign up, no service I use has required fb to log in.

Can you expand on or point to a write up on reverse engineering patches? Do you mean that reversers' try to locate the, say, buffer overflow that was fixed and try to find another way to exploit it? Why would major companies want to do

Like other seized assets they will get repurposed for other investigations. When the feds seize a boat, car, or home they either sell them or use them for operations, undercover and the like.[0] I imagine the btc will be saved until the cas

I'm pretty sure that's what the hearings are going to focus on. They may also throw in a little 'anyone can anonymously fund terrorists!' considering the sessions were called by the Committee on Homeland Security.

I posted a link further down in the thread about the majority of Texas supporting recreational and medical cannabis use, quoting from the study "Respondents whose age fell between 30 and 65 were most likely to be in support of the meas

You are completely correct. Even in Texas the majority of the citizens support legalizing medical and recreational marijuana[0] but no politician will ever bring it up. http://txcann.com/2013/10/08/texans-supp

I'm not. Police don't usually go after small time users. Any good city cop can find a trap house and pinpoint the crack heads going in and out. It's a waste of resources to arrest them though, they want the distributors. BUT

You are right. At my house I place one of those gym steps in front of my toilet and actually feel my body out of wack when I have to use other restrooms.

How can a working developer transition to security? Just apply to 'security' jobs? I've been reading a lot and managed to complete a couple of those exploitation wargames and hack some web apps but am in a completely differen

I think all libertarians would answer yes to your question. For example, public transport and housing is terrible in the Bay so private buses are all over SF now.

I knew there was I reason I always liked your posts. If you're ever in Austin drop me a line and we can have a chat. The CA community is pretty strong down here and growing thanks to people like Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed.

The US does not supply the majority of guns to Mexico. We supply 17-38% depending on your source. If you really wanted to end the crime in Mexico reevaluating prohibition would be a good start. [1] http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20110209-me

I agree completely. I studied Finance but had a work study with an econ professor and was amazed at how much hand waving existed in their economic models. I felt like I was charting very simple things(gdp, oil prices, ect) and he would come

He has a blog[1] that he's linked a couple of times. I'm just amazed by how long the entries are, I can never force myself to write that much. http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/

I'm just curious as how a relatively small group of people can be responsible for affecting the price of gold? By all accounts libertarians are a small section of the populace yet you suggest they are driving up the price and causing a bubb

That is why I put problem in quotes, I was responding to the parents reply about migration. I actually favor more open immigration, my grandparents were some of those mexicans who came illegally and had a great life.

It's important to note that California is just as bad or worse in a lot of those areas. All the things you mentioned are pretty bad in California. Public education is terrible, traffic is outrageous, there is a huge immigration 'problem', a

Just to make it clear, Texas does not have a state income tax. California has one of the highest.

I think it's good to try different places but Austin is especially cool. The nightlife is better than SF, the rents are more affordable, outdoor lifestyles are huge, the girls are prettier, and the weather is better. Austin is consistently

I also wouldn't call Austin the middle of nowhere. Within a 3 hour drive are Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio each being in the top 10 for populous cities. Arguably, Chicago is more isolated.

Fair enough, thanks for the advice though. I guess I'll just have to walk around and explore for a few days.

Is Oakland really that bad? I really want the most affordable place I can find. I'm not too scared of crime, I have guns and grew up in a lower class neighborhood, but am worried about theft when I'm not home. edit: I would basically like t

Not only did other crime go up but a quick google search proves that your statement is false. "After a school massacre, the U.K. banned handguns in 1998. A decade later, handgun crime had doubled." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014241
