ZRTP may be back at some point. We had to disable it because of dependency issues (we switched to LibAV from CCRTP due to a long string of stability problems and constant regressions, not what you want for a network facing library). While y

That would duplicate most of our code and we chose not to do so. We currently have an unified architecture that handle both existing sip infrastructure and the distributed one. The distributed part is less or more done, it isn't a big

No server account are required, it is what DHT is for. However, if you do have a server SIP account, we also support them. This is all about interoperability with existing infrastructure.

As of now we have no plan to support Tox. We initially evaluated this and decided against. Ring is based on open standards such as SIP (rfc3261), TLSv1.2 (rfc5246), SRTP (rfc3711), vCards (rfc6350) and many more. We are also inter-operable

To give a comparison closer to the States, in Quebec (Canada), I paid about 5k (3 semester per year, one as paid internship) in tuition plus ~10k for a ~450ft^2 apartment. Obviously I will pay all my life in taxes, but that make higher educ

The main issue I have with them is "brave" libraries developers who think it is a great idea to overload ->, . and delete. This can create issues where the code you read doesn't actually do what it look to do. I know about

My comment wasn't about fast "scripting" languages, for whatever your definition of that is. I don't think stronger typing and memory constraint enforcement have anything to do with scripting languages. In my opinion, C

Lua also have hybrid array, maps and object. It does work well when implemented in a sane way. Lua has different way of iterating the table if you want an array or maps.

You can create a disposable chroot debootstrap and use "xhost +" on the host to let Steam run. This is what I do every time I need something that require Java on my desktop.
