Have you tried removing the Intel graphics drivers? Based on "It is probably time to ditch xf86-video-intel[1]" I removed the intel drivers from a debian machine and an Arch machine and things have become more stable for me. 1: h

I am not sure what you mean by "trial by media" being a common point. Common where and used by whom? I am also not sure what you mean. Are you taking the view that "influencing the zeitgeist" should only happen in the co

I am going to assume your comment is a serious one. This case isn't a "trial by media". What is happening is that several investigative journalism groups are getting together to examine data acquired through a leak. The exami

Islamism as you call it is two different but similar flavors of political Islam; Wahhabism (think Saudi Arabia) and Qutbism (Muslim Brotherhood). Neither are brand new to the region, but both are around 100 years old. While the philosophies

This isn't an attack on the KeePass database but on a particular KeePass implementation. If this attack is a worry, use KeePassX[1], the KeePass implementation formerly only for Linux and now available for WIndows, OS X, Linux and BSD.

Yes it is. I have Tor Messenger running without problems with two different XMPP servers.

The biggest problem with connecting to Google Talk and Facebook is that they have deprecated XMPP access[1]. Well Google hasn't really, but they might as well have[2]. As someone who trains people on using XMPP and OTR, Google Talk use

I am curious, did you do a search for the term and other name collisions before you started your project? From http://witness.org/ : "WITNESS trains and supports activists and citizens around the world to use video saf

I am not sure what your second paragraph is referring to. KDE might be many things, but dead is not a valid descriptor. It's been going strong with a new iteration based on Qt 5, the project just released Frameworks 5.8 which support c

I, and others, have found Jitsi to fail in real-life situations on the simplest task: XMPP. The software looks great, seems to work nicely, but at the critical point of exchanging messages has failed me during training sessions. Security-wi
