It's just a Matter of googling for Milton friedman Americas drug forum.... You will see one of the best economists of all time making a he'll of a case.
Drugs have only been forbidden for less than a hundred years... We were fine before prohibition, and now children are being mutilated in your backyard. And believe me, this is a hundred billion dollar business, it WILL creep up to the us.
Milton fried man in americas drug forum (YouTube for it) said it best: it is prohibition that makes this business so profitable.
Look, it's very simple. I'm a Mexican living in Mexico, I also know more cities of the us than most us citizens. Drugs are consumed in Mexico (at a tenth of the price, btw), by some people and that ain't never going to go away neither here nor there in the us.
We cannot, because your government will not let us, decriminalize consumption in Mexico. And it wouldn't do as much good as it could because if they aren't legal up there then most of the Dough that comes here, that buys guns and officials and blood, will still be puouring in.
We need an international effort to legalize personal production of all personally produceable drugs. Not public consumption, not a blanket for junkies, but just a way for people to use their freedom in NOT helping the cartels.
As a side note, we could also start subsidizing legal drug prime matter, such as opium poppy and coca plant so that pfizer and all those Bauer fuckers would buy from the guys that now make the prime matter for illegal drugs. If you've ever seen a porter business analysis you will see that this two pronged strategy hits at both sides of the drug cartel business.
Perhaps larry is ready to close himself into his not-so-little ecosystem and become yet another ugly ass behemot, devoid of any kind of value or innovation down the line.
He should watch out. He keeps going this way, we gonna eat his lunch.
What comes next is looking for.gov buyers that knowingly bought Oracle's stuff at much more higher than market price... I mean, we in the IT industry KNOW how this deals are made and boy, its not that different from any other.gov market: bullying the competition, corrupting the buyer, thats standard practice in.gov IT, it seems, until now.
Brother, I must say that yes, you dont get it at all.
IT competition is all about control and platform. Microsoft is worried of anything that gets enough market to constitute a viable investment for development firms because if those firms make more money of the ipad/iphone then investing in microsoft develpment platform is less atractive and, given enough time, can even kill or seriously hinder the windows platform income which is way, way, way, way much more than anybody is ever going to get out of any ipad/iphone app.
And thats because, really, nobody can claim any kind of "moral" authority in that world (we foss guys are somehow different): if you ever make an app that makes that kind of money you can bet your ass Apple will kill it by copying it, extending it and including it in their base app set for the ipad.
It has been this way since there has been any kind of competition in personal computing.
IDS and IPS is a process that needs a human analyst. Pretending that software will adapt and respond to attacks by humans is just the wrong way to go about the network security issue. In that area, nothing beats snort: it is THE best tool for a good analyst to do the best possible job.
What? No no, one thing is to say that US policy has gotten it in the wrong side of history, which I think is factually correct, and another to say that china does not crack down on its hackers.
In china, you go and hack your school computer and youll probably end up in a nice concentration camp.
Go read The Hackers Crackdown, its available online, and enlighten yourself. Some of the best minds in the net told the government back in the day how stupid it was to incarcerate people that commited no real crime.
Go look for the idiot that started the Hacker's Crackdown in th 90's. The result of this attitude was to either push some kids to the edge where the russian mob recruited them in on form or another, or plain make them corpodrones, albeit very good at typing crap into a cisco console, but perfectly worthless in the underlining of the net.
Bravo, idiots, might I remind you that here in the net, we forsaw and told you about this. And now you come complainin....
I mean, i've seen my share of ugly shit in the net. I do think that i've seen most of the worse it has to offer. I mean REALLY? Are there people out there that will get all fucked up because of goatse?
Has this people ever seen Benneton's magazzine War issue? Have they seen the news?
The world is ugly. Believeing otherwise, makes you neurotic.

Nope. The law states that if you get caught the second Time you'll go to jail.
Hell all latinamerican expresidents agree. The key is in the ex part....
Just like in the us.

I totally agree with you.
Yes and no. The us prohibits gun exports and yet American citizens find a way to sell them and pass them through the border.
I respect your opinion, but it's stupid...

Ah! But can YOU sir, provide any kind of proof supporting your... ahaaa...

Ah... you set a new (for me), much more powerful model for analysis: control as the drive.
I thank you sir.
Love the sig!

I dont think suricata is a fork of snort.
"Out of the box" IDS's are crap.

Although one wonders:
China can't do it because its so huge, but what about smaller countries like Canada, the US, Mexico or Brazil?
It takes at least two Human to make a brazillian.
A terrorist atack on the Hanoi Towers?
I mean I love postgres, but why wouldnt one use MariaDB if one comes from mysql?
Its cheaper, freer and it has good people behind it for a price.
