What makes you so sure about this?

I have yet to meet a real life apple fan (and yes, i know some people who have pretty much all available kit) that behaves anywhere near as stupid as the common internet troll. Sure, anonymity might have something to do about it, but i really doubt there are that many people who actually care about Apple like a religion.

Correction.
Its called the "Pulsing blue Dickpunch of sadness", in case you didnt know

But they just dont have enough space for all the NSA employees.

char *buf = ...;
char *buf_end = ...;
unsigned int len = ...;
unsigned int buf_len= buf_end-buf;
if (len>buf_len) return; /* write to buf[0..len-1] */

There fixed it for ya.

If this had been some newb project i would have just frowned. But hearing those levels of incompetence reach so far hurts my head.

As opposed to "if (someBadCondition) exit(E_MYBADCONDITION);"? Actually might as well write to a log fire before exiting as well.

But sorry, if a dev actually uses something like in your example he should consider switching to a different job.

Actually there are better examples from german history.
Under chancellor Bismark Germany had good relations and treaties with most european nations. After he was fired by the young Kaiser Willhelm those ties dissolved and soon after WW1 broke out.
Lesson to be learned, no matter how big you are (and Germany was a lot bigger back then), pissing off everyone isnt a good idea.

Actually i was just poking fun at the title, for claiming "1.8 Million-Year-Old skull Suggests ..." instead of reading "Scientists studying 1.8 million year old skull suggest ...".

Man, the real story here is the skull.

It dont really care what it suggests, the mere fact it was talking is creepy...

First of all. Android isnt an instant success guarantee that some people seem to postulate.
Obviously you need to distinguish yourself. I mean, rock solid hardware, bloody good cameras, you know things like that.
But the big, bloody obious point to be made. Do you know a single phone manufacturer that sells more Windows phones than Android phones? I mean, quite a few have both in stock. There are enough models around that are available with either Android or Windows. Please enlighten me if there are any of those that actually sell better with Windows.

Hmm, so how many things did Apple patent that they didnt bother to implement?
And givent he fact that most testers probably wont find a test candidate to chop a finger off ill guess i just ... have to take your word for it?

There have already been several phones with 3D displays, didnt seem to be something people were really interested in.

And, uhm, i heard fanbois of the various smartphone vendors love their phones, but seriously, you know a marketing slogan like "Life Companion" probably wasnt meant you should actually, well, do that bees and flowers stuff with a phone.

Yeah, having an "XP system" is obviously a pretty stupid idea. I doubt it will catch on in any MMO or MMORPG.

You must be kidding. Even 3 medium lasers are enough to overheat a mech on all but the coldest maps. With double heat sinks that is.
So you only play with machine guns and Gauss rifles?

Aside from that, yes, Cool shot is pretty much crap.

They have been reading to many BattleTech novels (aka Game of Thrones IN SPACE).

It costs 15k GXP (one time XP cost) to upgrade coolshot-9 modules into coolshot 9x9 modules which are identical to the coolshot 18 (pay currency version).
At around 50-100 GXP per match (~8 minutes) thats about 20-40h of playing the game to be able to upgrade it. Its not used much though (there are non-consumable modules which are better on basicly every build).
