The US population is over 314 million people (source: census). The resources required to continually monitor all 314 million people make such an act impossible for purely practical purposes.
Well, as an ex-Marine he's had better training in wreaking havoc
I'm very afraid. But not of him. I'm afraid of people who will use ability as an argument or justification to trample first amendment rights.
The guy was detained for psychological evaluation, which implies that there's a possible danger to others, but also to the guy himself. Also, based on some of the posts above, the content is still viewable by the public, so I don't see the breach in the First Amendment here. No-one's stopping him saying what he wants to say, they just want to make sure he's not going to do anything stupid.
How is '90% larger' underhanded and deceptive? As far as I can tell, Nintendo say the screens are 90% bigger, and they're 90% bigger. It's about as deceptive as saying 'don't put your hand in the flame - it'll get burnt'.
And you missed the one difference between hibernate and hybrid boot: the user session. Hibernation preserves the active sessions, and restores them on boot. Hybrid boot closes all sessions so new ones start on boot. No matter how you spin it, hybrid boot is *not* hibernation.
But what if I have to redact the recation of the redaction of the original redaction? Or, how many redactions must a man redact, before he can stop redacting?:)
True (and I know all that already), but it's not outlandish to think of WinPhone having a 'notification area' that you just can't see, and that's where the apps lie. I was trying to describe an analogue rather than a true equivalent.
Did I say I was representative of the general public? Or did I offer a single counter-example to show it's not all FUD? I'll give you a hint: the answers follow the same pattern as 'do you want a bullet to the groin' and 'do you want free money'.
In which case I retract my retraction, and reinstate my original posting i.e. Win8 tells me it's shutting down because, oddly enough (hairyfeet), it's shutting down.

European (soccer)?
Not the best choice of measurement, as they can vary dramatically. Now a rugby pitch, that's a fixed size.
Probably. They've invested almost everything else.
Seriously, the list of Chinese inventions is longer than the Great Wall.
What if the mole had the laser gun though?
In a parallel universe where the laws of time and space mean that Earth is shaped like a pretzel.
You're thinking of 'quartered'.

Now who's going to be the first to post 'whoosh'?
wrong "i want to drive the wrong way on the road and crash into a police cruiser at 120 kph"
The cruiser could be empty. Ever think before you post?

Fair enough. In which case, I only need to mention BMW's iDrive system, which operates very similar to a modern smartphone.
Like I said, I was going for an analogue. Why do I feel like you're trying to win an argument where no argument exists?
Screens are given in the diagonal yes, but screen size changes are given in viewing area, as that's the more relevant comparison.
Squirrel!
If only there was some sort of summary, and that summary contained the info you're looking for... pity there isn't one.
Oh wait, there is.
The console comes with features such as screens which are 90% bigger in size than the original 3DS
while 95% of the games on the system are utter crap the other 5% is the stuff that defines the generation
You could almost apply that unchanged to any console/handheld platform of the last 20 years.
They lose $400m, but are valued at over $85b.
So Yamamoto did drop some change down the back of his sofa!

Hey you guys! I've just found a douchebag! Let's all laugh at the fact he thinks a single counter-example is an attempt at proof!

If the musician won't listen to the fans, why should the fans support the musician? After all, ultimately it's the fans that may the musician's wages.
Good point - it may have leaf springs, but the C6 is a surprisingly capable sports car.

Finding a venue that doesn't have insane age restrictions on gigs.
