MESS and PCem should be accurate enough.
jaxb··on 8088 Domination Post-Mortem, Part 1
I wonder how well PC emulators will render this :-)
jaxb··on Atlassian Valued at $3.3 Billion
Actually, they seem to be taking 'enterprise' seriously now (JIRA Data Center and Confluence Data Center are in beta currently).

Promoting their Enterprise Advocate to Enterprise Czar (or BOFH) would be good, so that person could finally force the dev teams to think of scalability first.

jaxb··on Google Newspaper Archive
Talk to the Archive Team about that...

jaxb··on Telegram’s Cryptanalysis Contest
I'm sorry but I have to ask:

Can you prove that you indeed are Pavel Durov of VK?

jaxb··on Telegram’s Cryptanalysis Contest
Do you truly need to ad-hominem attack tptacek? You sound pretty much like pseudoscientists when they blame mainstream science being too rigid and not accepting their groundbreaking theories.
jaxb··on Telegram’s Cryptanalysis Contest
So are you associated with telegram, just to be clear?

jaxb··on Recent reports on our whitehat program
Yes.

a) it's called triage and b) you won't want to miss that one report that blows your security wide open.

The point is moot now, facebook says they took note and will ask for more details from now on.

jaxb··on Recent reports on our whitehat program
facebook's communication skills were not stellar either ('this is not a bug').

If you are taking reports from users about security problems, treat every one as real until proven otherwise.

jaxb··on Best Emulators (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and more)
MESS (MAME's sister project) emulates many of these and has certain unique features (scroll down to Sonic&Knuckles): http://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2013/02/11/whats-new-in-0-148u...
