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 this?

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 measures, with the 18-29 age group being the most unsure. Those 65 and older showed the least support but were still a part of the majority approval"

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 I also never thought they would bust SR dealers...

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 different domain.

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.

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 up with his own suspect analysis off that limited info.

The worst part was that this guy had had a high ranking position in the presidents cabinet!
