Slobodan Milosevic was walking down the bridge when the huge wind strikes. He falls into river and starts drowning, and three man notice that and rescue him. Milosevic, grateful for saving their lives, ask them anything that they would like to have:
Guy #1 : "Mr president, I would like 1.000.000 dinars so I can feed my family, pay our debts and buy stuff that my family needs"
Milosevic: "Ok, that is fine, you can solve financial problem of your family for the rest of your life with that amount"
Guy #2 : "Mr president, I would like one of the government-owned companies. I'm a capable guy, and I know we can employ a lot of people and make some healthy profit"
Milosevic: "Oh, that is good, I'll see to it that you get that"
Guy #3: "Mr president, for me, only thing I want is a little doll in your image"
Milosevic: "Haha, that is good, I would see to it."
One year later, Milosevic remembers his saviours, and goes to see how they are doing. So he visits guy #1 and see he is poor, his house a ruin, and his family hungry;
Milosevic: "What the hell?! I gave you all that money!"
Guy #1: "Inflation, Mr president...."
Then he goes to see guy #2. Company he gave him is not working, there are workers in front of it on a strike, and the guy is looking miserable.
Milosevic: "This company was working perfect; What the hell happened?!"
Guy #2: "Embargo, Mr president...."
Milosevic then goes to guy #3; He sees his house and it is huge; there is a Ferrari on the driveway; Inside, half of the place is made of gold! Milosevic is confused, how did this happened?!
This is a nice way for Facebook to get rid of all those fake accounts. No matter what info you posted, your friends will answer security questions enough times (in)correctly for their engine to decide which information was truthful.
If I was an evil mastermind behind this would be a nice moment for diabolical laughter.

Everybody here is too young to remember it, but Serbia started a war once that caused more deaths than any other war. (Even though it only lasted 4 years)
Considering that WW1 started in 1914 and you remember it, you are what, more than 100 years old?
Damn, I figured that you would have lower uid.... How old are 5 or 4 figure guys?
Country borders change all the time. International law is routinely broken. Territories are often under dispute. For Kosovo, lots of countries recognize it as an independent country.
So what you basically want to say is that it is OK to break international law?
And this is not a "border change", this is making of a country that never existed in history. Taken from the country that was founded on that very piece of land.
Oh, and thanks for sharing the link. You can also see a lot of countries that didn't recognize it as independent. Yes, it is the gray color on the map. But no worry - all those countries are either commies or terrorist, of course they are wrong./sarcasm
I really didn't expect from you guys to feed me some copypasta from Fox News. I mean, come on.
No more posts from my side, I will not be pulled into flamewar.
The Euro is a completely viable alternative to the dollar on a broad international scale. It's even used as the official currency in countries outside of the EU: see, for instance, Kosovo. !
Ok, either this is an obvious flamebait, or you are talking just from the ignorance. I will bite, nevertheless:
Kosovo (and Metohija) was never independent country, and it isn't one now. If you counter this claim either you are shredding every single piece of international law in existence, or you are talking out of your ass. No, IANAL, but taking living room from my apartment, which I own - is illegal, no matter how you sugar coat it. How would you like for southern Florida to proclaim its independence and call itself New Cuba?
Yeah, yeah, -1 flamebait, but this fscking troll-meme that Kosovo is a country has got to stop.
Yeah, yeah, I know this is a/., and saying something like this is bound for karma burn - but anybody that collected ALL of those crack-cocaine-figurine-thingies in GTA has waaaaay too much time.
And please, yes - I know finishing campaign is not the same (I have done so), but what exactly is "game over"? With all those achievements, different difficulty levels and DLC where do you say that you finished the fscking thing?
Let me get this straight: couple of biggest hardware manufacturers are putting their effort to bring full-blown GPL-licensed Linux distro on mobile devices, and you guys don't seem to care? I would imagine geeks all over the world would be jerking off on their monitors upon hearing this news...
...and I absolutely agree. I would not put my ass in that plane.
But the better question is - how will other passengers know? They will look at their plane, which would look EXACTLY like the one made from Airbus or Boeing, and fly by it not knowing the difference.
Imagine getting injured and your doctor needs X-Ray scan. I sure as hell wouldn't know which brand of them is good or bad, and of course, would really prefer to be scanned with one made by some serious manufacturer - rather than with some cheap Chinese copy. But how do I know the difference?
Chinese have already (successfully) copied fighter planes. Take a look at J-7 (Mig-21), J-8 (Su-15), J-10(Eurofighter), J-11 (Su-27, Su-33). So only thing that is actually new - is that they are making* a new, civilian airplane.
* When I say making, I think about using blatant copy of some existing design

Brilliant!

I would guess that it is a Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor ...
Good news everyone!
an old joke:

In Soviet USA the bees kill firs...

Am I missing something?
Well, as for J-11, there are some people that would disagree with that point
My bad.
Please mod parent up.
