   We (at ring.cx) had a "Y2K" bug on Jan 1. Some old boring code was replaced with more "readable" one and "underflowed" (technically, it did not expect negative values). Explosion: https://gist.github

   Well, if they use 32bit time_t: Exactly the same is this bug. If they use 64bit time_t: Nothing unusual for the next 4 billion years or so until the sun explode.

   I use voip.ms. It has a good service. Some limited SIP knowledge help if you wish to make it work ok.

   With the curve editing enabled by default, it will come close to Cinelerra. They have mostly the same feature set at this point. Blender curve editing is unbeatable, but as a general purpose Video Editor, it has some drawbacks of its own. T

   Thanks god KDenLive is catching up. Cinelerra[1] (and the cinelerra-cv community fork) was/is more advanced, but its interface is stuck in the 90's, it manage to crash twice per CPU cycle due to horrible code and is resealed witho

   The first bots were based on the "autominer" shareware, if you could get your hands on it. That was in 2002 or so. It was a simple macro based bot system. It was before they made anything to stop people from doing that (beside occ

    Ring.cx is also not technically anonymous for mostly the same reasons. A decentralized hash table leave some metadata in the open, then when you call someone, there is a UDP stream between them. Ring wont give away your IP and details to th

    We are working on that, it will likely change. Contact/phone integration cause most of them. The Android client is still Alpha code and experimental. The (Desktop) Gnome, KDE and OS X clients are the most mature. Windows is starting to

    ZRTP is disabled because we are looking for a new implementation. The previous implementation we used depended on CCRTP and it wasn't running very well in least tested OS, like Windows. This is network facing code, so you have to have

    (I am one of the dev) The main difference is that Ring.cx is built on top of open standards and only add the minimal additional infrastructure (the decentralized DHT layer) to allow it to work without a server. It is SIP compliant and can b

    I haven't looked into the source, but Qt use a "MOC" pre-compilation system to generate introspection data. Once you have access to that, you don't have to mess with C++ symbols anymore. Same for the objects properties,

    If I may give my take on this: Federated: Provide a little better anonymity as many operations are done behind firewalls/NAT/VPNs rather than using public data and point to point sockets. However it has a single point of failure f

    In all honesty, the decision was taken by the project sponsor and is final. We built this https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/opendht and it is already used by some other projects distributed outside of Savoir-faire Li
