Well, most people have email and the ISP can just require that they have a working email address on file. That's how ISPs in Germany do it and it works fine. Or if it's urgent, they'll just call you. No need to invent a new f

Not true, XMPP does have that feature and there are multiple clients which implement this. It works amazingly well. It's not an extension, but part of the standard. Example: http://conversations.im/

He's actually talking about the SELinux/"RBAC in general" approach. His only criticism of Grsecurity is that it's not in the mainline and therefore not as effective as it could be.

My Android phone just works™. No tinkering required. It's not even rooted anymore. I don't have to think about it at all. Maybe you just had a bad device?

Grsecurity's approach is superior to OpenBSD's, but both are acceptable. FreeBSD is actually behind Linux - it lacks an effective access control framework and did not have ASLR until the latest release. At least they're wor

Because it's superior to the alternatives, despite the security issues? The malware problem did not affect Windows' popularity either.

Well, Grsecurity did maintain their own Linux fork for the past ten years with an excellent security track record. The issue is that mainline is not interested in merging it, leaving most users vulnerable (since using a Linux fork in a pr

Astonishingly so, since it's actually a very good article. Only one or two (minor) flaws in a long article about a technical subject, written by a journalist, is a good tally.
