This absolutely true and I've heard it discussed in cooking shows about Miami. Thousands of cubans fled to Florida and started mom and pop restaurants, the people who stayed had to make due with meager rations and the culinary culture

While cool, LA has all the bad parts of Austin exemplified; actually ridiculous housing, insanely bad traffic, a lot more taxes, cool and weird people are greatly outnumbered by douches, a real serious drought, and I can't shoot guns.

I believe you are incorrect on both counts. The Texas Medical Center and the Energy sector in Houston are massive industries that have created tons of large companies. Just not the hacker news type, they actually have solid revenue, ipo, an

What you call useless other people call brilliant. I was at RECon this past weekend and one of the coolest talks was about compiling malware using only MOV. Good luck reversing that. https://recon.cx/2015/schedule/

Most pentesting distros run as root by default, check out Kali Linux which is the industry standard. It makes it a lot easier to run all the strange applications we use. As long as you keep it in a VM you'll be pretty solid.

I dislike Agora. The site is rarely up and when I do manage to login most of my requests time out. What I'm interested in is how much money the major sites are making. The much smaller Cannabis Road was recently hacked and robbed of $1
