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 …

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 an…

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 th…

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 …

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://txca…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 chartin…

Have you checked out Continuum's Wakari project.[1] It is essentially IPython with an online ide. http://continuum.io/wakari.html

The older brother had been questioned by the FBI before. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57580534/fbi-interviewed...

Edit again. Much better collection of pics https://twitter.com/JoeXu/status/325086354176364545/photo/1

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 …

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 …

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, tra…

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 …

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 mor…
