To clarify, the most criticism that the EFF secure messaging scorecard had was: * CryptoCat got a perfect rating, despite it's long history of insecurity, attack vectors, and questionable audits. * Skype got rated more favorably then i

First, know your adversary. Is it your ex-wife, your ISP, some disgruntled hosting provider employees, or law enforcement? That will help you narrow down your choices. Second, for an email-like replacement, you may want to look into Bitmess

The LuaJIT results don't surprise me. I've always been impressed with LuaJIT. The OpenJDK results also don't surprise me. If you work in a Java shop, you learn very quickly to throw out OpenJDK in favor of Sun/Oracle Jav

Yes, I can. I am a system administrator who also knows a great deal about storage, and manages a good chuck of the storage servers at my employment. We use ZFS for our backup servers, both onsite, and offsite, and we use them for a couple g

So, let me get this straight: It's going to have a larger screen. It'll have an improved scratch resistant screen. It'll have an improved camera. It _might_ have NFC. And this qualifies as "device of the year"? Am I

Despite the page, I will mention this: corporate vendor support is sufficient for teams that don't have the technical expertise to either roll out a new technology or troubleshoot problems on their own. This is partly why Red Hat Enter
