Corporate clients buy Office N because Office N-1 is no longer supported and/or doesn't run in MS Windows-Latest. Simple as that.

They can share a torrent link in their own website, no need to go to a "torrent website". Debian, Fedora and OpenBSD do this; they just share the torrent file/magnet URL on their own websites.
No one said they should roll their own. There are plenty of existing authentication frameworks they could have just deployed. The point is that they used a third party SERVICE, not just software/protocol.
Closed source, doesn't run on linux... Sorry mate, wrong audience.
Latency, not bandwidth. A round trip takes too long, and each click/keypress is (at least) one round trip.
You won't need twice the specs if the OS isn't hogging up all the resources.
The same applies for most banks in Argentina, with a few NOTABLE exceptions that require flash, or are deliberately unusable for handicaped users.
Of course the mayor didn't know how to secure his servers. That's exactly the reason why he hired Childs!
How is Jolla's device not current? There is a shipping date; december 2013.
In most places, a warranty replacement resets the warranty period to day zero. That's definitely the case in Argentina: if my 2-year-old drive fails, I get a replacement, and the 5-year warranty starts counting again from the day I got the replacement one.
Wrong, he made the company, but then went public; which means he essentially sold it (or parts of it). So now the shareholers (ie: owners) get to vote what happens with it.
If you want to replace an N900, then Jolla's device is the way to go; it's a direct successor of the N9, which is a successor of the N900.
Also, Jolla's doesn't have Aegis or anything alike, unlike the N9, but much like the N900.
Not really. You just mirror every day's copy, the server handles the deduplication and backing up yesterday's data before you replace it.
You can mirror today's files while not altering yesterdays. You can also use hardlinks to keep the directory tree for each day intact. rsync has an argument for this.
There are other issues with it being propietary. It might not call home and be INTENTIONALLY insecure, but it may be UNINTENTIONALLY insecure. There's no room for peer review, since it's completely closed.
