This is a gem of wisdom: pair-programming between devs and hackers will allow for instant security feed-back [...] It will be the only possible way to develop ironclad software. Starting with the system architects, there need to be arcdhitectural hackers - all the way through the coding process. ...and reading the other stuff too, he seems to still be knowing what he's talking about!

  The dude is very likeable and I don't care about him doing illegal drugs (I'm no moralist). That being said, the accusations that he killed his next door neighbor in Belize and then fled the country are disconcerting... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McAfee#Legal_issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McAfee#Legal_issues

    As someone that lives in a third world country, I think that everything John said about the case (that it was about people wanting bribes) is true. Also he said people hit him with a baseball bat after putting a helmet on his head, I know even other techniques (a cop friend told me one of the things his corrupt colleagues do is hit people with soap bars inside towels, it also hurts a lot without leaving bruises if you know what you are doing).

      I don't think he said this had been done to him. He merely said that's a common 'questioning' technique used in Belize.

        In another reply he claims they did it to his post-arrest.

    Do you remember the news about ukrainian authorities raiding the office of STALKER devs and demanding to be paid? If shit like this happened in Ukraine (which was a pretty stable country back then), then just imagine what scale of corruption is going on in countries like Belize.
