Unlike most media companies, Disney takes the long view of merchandising. Anyone was can make a movie that sells merchandising for a year or so, but Disney knows that for a movie to be able to keep selling merchandise for 70+ years, like Snow White has, the movie has to have a very appealing and timeless story to it. The original trilogy has that long term appeal. That is something Disney is going to try to recapture.
Because he is booting from a LiveUSB, it gets a completely refreshed system every time he boots and the defaults are restored. It's probably not easy to change the default on the LiveUSB, especially since he, no doubt, is always optimistic he is just about to fix his main system.
I had the impression when I read 1984 that the cameras where a relatively minor annoyance compared to other things, like manipulating language, undermining all interpersonal relationships and the rats eating your face.
I suspect they just want to know how many customers they have, not specifically who they are.
One of the CRTC jobs is to ensure Canadian TV content gets created and we are not stuck with 100% American programming and Canadian culture disappears entirely. If everyone starts watching all their TV on Netflex and similar services, Canadian TV could all but disappear. Most counties other then US have systems to ensure domestic content is produced, but Canada is so close to the US, the pressure far greater.
Movies aren't subject to regulation and Canadian made movies are barely seen in cinemas (and the few that are tend to be based on Canadian TVs shows).
If you can't use science to overturn part of your cultural identity, then you are missing the most critical requirement of an enlightened democracy and you don't actually comprehend science. Science is applicable to all beliefs and every decision you make everyday.
If there was wide acceptance of AGW we could get on with deciding what to do about it, which can generate a whole lot of genuine controversy and legitimate disagreement.
The only practical alternative to nuclear in many places is fossil fuel power generation which even when working perfectly is not safe for the environment.
Its a lot easier to predict when you know what gene you are transferring then old fashion selective breeding which we have practiced for 10s of thousands to years and managed to change this into this.
In Canada, federally, third party advertising on political issues during elections is allowed, but regulated with reporting requirements and spending limits.
Also corporate and union donations to political parties are banned and individual donation are limited to about $1,200 dollars per year.
Like the US we have constitutionally protected freedom of expression, but there is also section one which says, "The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."
So freedom of expression can be limited in the name of democracy.
His stimulus during the Great Depression was good, but didn't go far enough. The New Deal was very controversial at the time, so perhaps he would have gone further if he could.

Looks more like Star Trek style architecture with is curved and clean look then Star Wars style. It even had a saucer section on top.
"I've always paid my way."
You haven't paid for the impact of your greenhouse gas emissions.

Ontario is also on the process in eliminating its coal fire plants. Here is the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
An even better example is the Super Mario Bros. movie.
It is 54% that live in urban areas that create the "world as we know it". Many of the rural population are little more then subsistence farmers.
Show written by and for an Americans but filmed here may contribute to the Canadian economy, but they do little for Canadian culture.

The smartwatch I had was adequate for a calender and shopping list, and newer ones would have a higher resolution.
I had a Sony Smartwatch for a while before it broke. Here are the apps I would like to see/write, besides the obvious notification apps:
Nextbus predictions
Remote control for mythtv
Monthly calender
Google maps with walking route
Weather
Display brief text, like shopping lists
Looks like a lot of these where covered in the Apple Watch presentation.
There lots of things people use their smartphones for that only require a quick glance. They are the kinds of things a smartwatch is suited for.
If the propane is made from CO2 that is absorbed from the air, like plants are able to, then it is carbon neutral.
How is an air conditioner supposed to know what temperature you want it to be without an Internet connection?
It will make the world a better place if your political opinions are based on evidence and logic.

My previous comment from another article happen defends nuclear power.
However it will take more the eliminating coal to reduce our emission by 80%-90% in the next 35 years.

They are using the same idea this time. Spending millions of dollars on a desalination plant will cause droughts to end.

I Canada OTA broadcasters don't get money from cable companies, but they manage to survive. (Non-OTA channels do get some money from cable companies)
Of course, in recent years the cable companies now own all the OTA broadcasters.
Once difference is that the energy is spread out over kilometers rather then all at one point near the surface.
This Quirks and Quarks story on the The Chelyabinsk Meteor talks about this and how the data suggests impacts are more common then we thought.
