The lobbyists working for the cable industry beat them to it. They're not going to win on that front. Public opinion might be the one big move they have, and so they're trying to get into the news about the issue.
TV is on demand (in that respect) too. You turn on your TV when you want to watch it. You aren't forced to leave it on for Canadian content if you don't want to.
I would personally call "other means of telecommunication" another name for "The Internet." A broadcast receiving apparatus could be a Roku if a computer is not specific enough.
Then again, here in the US, the Internet isn't considered telecommunication. Otherwise, net neutrality would have taken hold long ago and cable Internet customers would be paying into a Universal Service Fund to expand broadband to rural areas.
I've literally heard of none of the people on your list. Maybe that's because they made their mark before 1971, but that's a completely useless bit of information ot a lot of people.
Except that Netflix is hardly different than a DVD rental store in many respects (distribution).
But anyone can self-publish even without the likes of Youtube. All you need is a server with bandwidth and advertising dollars. And there's less of a need than ever for a central distribution point like Youtube for all but the smallest content creators.
And strangely, Netflix USA has plenty of Canadian content. The problem is the middlemen. The content creators shop their works around to distributors. The distributors sign licenses for their country. Then, when Netflix comes along, the distributors all have exclusive rights by country. Netflix is forced to sign with multiple distributors to have the same content in multiple countries.
It's not a purchase. It's not an exchange of money for goods. It's a monetary gift that will hopefully be met with a thank you gift one day. Too many kickstarters are just using the wrong language.
Because of the language of "pre-order" that's used in a lot of cases. It makes it sound like a sure thing, when it's really not. It's not a pre-order, it's a gift for funding their project's success (and is contingent on that success).
The last kickstarter I gave to, was in an amount that was below any reward threshold. I just get to know that I did a tiny part in making something I really wanted happen.
Not too obscure. They like big imposing logos with hefty roman numerals as the supporting beams in the design. An "L" just doesn't do that. And most people who watch football don't know Roman numerals beyond X anyway.
It was designed for syncing a folder on your computer with a floppy disks. Now that we have flash drives, seek times aren't so bad and you can operate on them directly (or use cloud storage).
The feature's technically present even in Windows 7. Just add a desktop.ini file to any folder with the following lines: [ShellClassInfo] CLSID={85BBD920-42A0-1069-A2E4-08002B30309D} ConfirmFileOp=0
Apparently there's a way to re-enable it in Windows 8, too.
The local maxima for specific traits don't continue to "level up". 20/20 vision is about the best we're going to evolve (with a few minor outliers), because there's no genetic advantage to having better.
Probably pattern recognition. If innocuous background noise is perceived to be intelligent data, the brain amplifies it (isolates / focuses) rather than filtering it out. It's possible that the voices go away in complete sensory deprivation.
On the other hand, some studies show people born deaf also have language hallucinations - in sign language or lip movement.
I have a feeling that part of what afflicts people like you is a superior ability of pattern recognition. Unfortunately, that means you can "hear things" in the background noise of the world and they are recognized as voices and words.
I would assume that it's closely related to genetic advantages that would allow you to learn people's faces more easily.
Are you saying the dispatch computers not only have iTunes set up, but are also tied to personal iTunes accounts? I'll leave the full hard drive problem for someone else. But if 911 is really that important, then these computers should not be messed with - by the users either.

Yeah...if this wasn't a move driven by lobbyists for the Canadian cable industry, you might have a point. But you know it is.

How safe one company operates vs. another is not a counterpoint.
Right. Which is why I said they don't know numerals beyond X, not numbers beyond X.
Right....because complying with trade regulations of every country should just be automatic, and not based on the growth of the company.

What's the survival advantage of better than 20/20 vision? "Good enough" is really as far as natural selection can go.
The local maxima for specific traits don't continue to "level up". 20/20 vision is about the best we're going to evolve (with a few minor outliers), because there's no genetic advantage to having better.
Life is a fatal condition. Putting arbitrary value on specific lifespans that you deem acceptable aren't as eugenic as you believe.

iTunes does not require iOS. It also runs as a client on Windows.
Many people have already purchased all the pre-1999 music they want
And many of those people think nothing good has been recorded since.
You can throw the bag of crap away. The album is tied to your account forever.

I don't pay regular price. Tyson sells at Aldi for $0.69 now and then for a whole chicken.
