Comment Re:Fantastic for corporate users (Score 1) 112

Actually it is more than just you.

1. People who hate to change their phone. One little thing broke? Replace and continue. Even if it is a main board, changing this part will be cheaper that changing whole phone (and if you made a image of your phone, just flash the image and bam - proceed like nothing happened).

Getting use to new phone, buttons and layouts is stressful to most users. I know if you told my father he can have a phone that will serve him for the next 10 years, he would love it.

2. People who will want upgrades. Your screen is not full HD? Buy replacement screen, keep this one as a spare. You still have the same phone that you got use to, just it rocks a bit more.

But my favorite:

3. Phone hacking enthusiasts: You all probably know about Neo900 project by now. Imagine taking Neo (or some other open-source supported) main board + modules from this project. Now you can install Tizen (or whatever it is called these days)/Sailfish/Ubuntu/FirefoxOS and have high quality phone with the environment customized to your choosing.

> Kosovo is somewhat different in that genocidal warfare

None of that happened in Kosovo. It happened in other Yugoslavian republics, but not in Kosovo.

...

The justification doesnt matter as there is no independent third party to judge whether the justification is sufficient or not. Without an impartial judge, the Russian justification to attack Georgia as as good as the US/EUSSR one to attack Serbia. The Russians explicitly referenced the Kosovo precedent when they attacked Georgia. "If you can redraw other countries borders at gunpoint, so can we. Go figure!"

Where are my modpoints when I need them?

As a Serbian, I may be biased towards the happening at Kosovo, but the info that USA/EU public has been fed is nothing short of scandalous, and I really didn't expect from you guys to be so much misinformed. I guess it is easier to proclaim Serbia as a "bad guy", then talk about organ thefts, drugs and terrorism, or the fact that USA president can't hold his dick in his pants.

NOT posting as AC. Time to burn some karma, I don't fucking care - you need to get the version not edited by Fox news.

Comment I think the point is quite different here (Score 1) 780

Actually, what they tried to say with this is: "Look at us, we have serious server os now....yeah....CLI and all....we can do what UNIX does...honestly..."

IF (and only IF) this is going to be used, it will be only for microsoft based solutions (Exchange, SQL server...), because they will probably be the only one to bother making the CLI editions.

*nix-like systems are huge selling point for anything server-based, they know that, and they are trying to compete with stuff like this.
