[dba-Tech] A new compiled JavaScript?

Hi Shamil:

Thanks for all the information. I will install jitsi on my Ubuntu box and
see how it works. 

Even though Skype will install on Ubuntu (debian) Linux, its current
reputation as a application that is designed to be used by governments for
monitoring conversations is against my personal preferences. I like that
Jitsi is an OSS which is less likely to be hacked and then not fixed in a
timely manner makes it a very attractive product.

Also Rocky's suggestion of using Viber on the cell phones and tablets is a
definitely makes it a plus package.

Interesting aside: "...As of December 2012, the Lebanese ministry of
telecommunication has blocked Viber on all Cellular network and DSL due to
its Israeli origin..." Hope this is not some kind of weirdness that may
spread to cover more of the Arab world.

Jim

 Hi Jim --

Tsss.... KGB is listening - not kidding they say here that mail.ru I'm
posting from to AccessD is running under KGB umbrella...

Anyway - you can check

Jitsi:  https://jitsi.org/  and

Tor: 
http://windows.appstorm.net/how-to/how-to-browse-the-web-anonymously-with-to
r-project/

I do not use them or any other - I have just heard they are good
alternatives to Skype...

And Rocky mentioned Viber - as far as I see it's available for Windows Phone
too:

- Viber and
- Viber Messenger

I'm installing the first one now...

Thank you.
