Re: [liberationtech] Random number generator failure in Rasperri Pis?
Dear Colleagues, I am presently writing on politicians, namely Gore and Obama, talking about the internet on the campaign trail. I am looking for citations for research on discourses on technology in politics. Any leads? Thank you.

Interesting also to see another post on this topic, after the study of a random number generation procedure formerly used in Cryptocat and that was also problematic.
