On par, _but_ a big difference is that because all alerts are sent as an equivalent to Presidential, it actually disobeys many settings associated with them (including, ironically, a checkbox for AMBER Alerts to begin with, and the Severe/Extreme tiers), plus the Canadian version of this system also uses a completely different alert sound that actually makes the U.S. one for mobile look sane.

The entire Canadian system appears to force the highest impact of presentation for any alert, with no room for a graduated system, to the point where the specific "style guide" for the TV system actually mandates that they always be presented as white text on red background.
Actually no, this is probably a sign that a new socket is on the way. This is not news, as Intel has been doing this exact pattern for a while now; Intel will keep a single socket compatible for at least two Core generations before replacing it and breaking compatibility. Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge (1155). Haswell, Broadwell (1150), Skylake, Kaby Lake (1151).
Yes, we transitioned to digital OTA television (ATSC), but the CRTC doesn't let broadcasters use digital subchannels willy-nilly unlike the U.S. The CRTC, on the other hand, has been progressively deregulating aspects of specialty/cable TV (unlike the U.S., all cable channels also must be licensed)
It only works in Canada if you live close to the border. I used to live near Detroit, now I don't. The only major networks the closest city to me actually has OTA, are CBC (English and French), CTV, and Global. City is cable only (having taken over the province's "educational" broadcaster), and CBC doesn't even have a station anymore in the province's second major population centre (Saskatoon) because the CBC said they would only convert their originating stations to digital in digital transition markets, and not rebroadcasters (it was technically just a translator of CBC in Regina but with Saskatoon commercials).
That's only five channels OTA in Regina, and two in Saskatoon, all with only one channel each (in a perfect world CTV could run CTV Two on subchannels, but less they incur the wraith of the CRTC). The closest U.S. city I could theoretically pull from is Williston, North Dakota, which is around 150 miles south. "wide array" includes not only major networks, but independents, as well as those digital subchannel networks.
Firstly, due to federal policy, all broadcasters are effectively discouraged from operating digital subchannels on their stations, despite the fact that we use the same television standards as Americans, by requiring a multitude of regulatory hurdles to be cleared before you can get permission to do so. Furthermore, due to almost all major broadcasters being vertically integrated with pay television providers, there is little incentive to actually invest in over-the-air television beyond mandatory carriage in the markets where they do end up operating, since it's more profitable to collect subscriber fees for a "new" channel where 90% of the content is literally just recycled from its sister channels, forcibly bundled alongside 2-5 more channels (despite being required to do so, providers also discourage a la carte options by making them as unattractive as possible and giving them little promotion). Hence, we do not have the wide array of options over-the-air as there are in the U.S. or the United Kingdom (given how consolidated the networks are here, maybe a model closer to Freeview could work here). Additionally, because the majority have pay TV here, broadcasters largely cut down on their OTA transmitters during the digital transition to save costs..
Well, this is the same case. Their code, despite being heavily modified, is still being attributed to them as their work, thus violating its integrity because it is not the grsecurity..
I've seen multiple pieces of software, including Paint.net and Classic Shell, change to proprietary licenses because of this exact issue; being able to effectively plagiarize a program just because it's open source and you can theoretically do anything to it, like change the name and claim it as your own, claim it's a "new version" that's littered with malware or add-ons that aren't open source, etc. Open source licenses do not give you a carte blanche to infringe on any other proprietary intellectual property associated with the software, such as trademarks and trade dress.
Microsoft has deprecated old versions of Windows on this hardware for a reason. There have been a lot of advances in hardware technology since Windows 7 came out, and trying to run an OS on hardware it was not originally designed or optimized to run on will just lead to instability. Windows 7 mainstream support already ended in 2015, which means that Microsoft has the right to not add new features to the OS. Support for newer hardware is just one of those features. A game of cat and mouse will ensue, but eventually the developer will tire of it, and Microsoft will win the fight. If you don't want to use Windows 10, there are always alternatives.
Systemd. GNOME. Absolutely no originality besides mid-tier under the hood differences. I remember when distributions had personality and originality. Now it's just the same junk with a different default wallpaper.
AFAIK the only FCC license Time Warner holds anymore is for a somewhat also-ran TV station in Atlanta that used to be the great WTBS, but has since been outsourced to the owner of another station there and has no ties to the TBS cable channel anymore. It will probably be sold to the owner of said other station in all likelihood.
NPAPI is the other option, but that puts you in the exact same boat as Java (though IMHO is still better).
Actually, NPAPI is the common point of failure, because Java in the browser _is_ NPAPI, and the deprecation of it is the reason why the Java plug-in is being discontinued, period.

What shall we do without our precious FCC? How can we end this madness? How long can we live with this horrific government shutdown?
In all seriousness, it's just politics as usual. The 'scary' government shutdown can go on for months for all I care.

Spin it like this: Home building is killing the PC industry. And it should be that way.
Actually the "new UI" looks just like the old one but with the Photon design elements latched on. Doesn't look really different.
Spaceballs the Breakfast Cereal, Spaceballs THE FLAME THROWAH!! ("The kids love this one!")
Actually no. It literally did come up as "s*x" as this Reddit post notices.
It will probably start increasing in price over the years that follow as Disney finds out how this market works.

No, that was not Windows Vista, that was Wndowes Vista.
Fiberoptic is infrastructure.
I'm not sure how to feel about Facebook banning what I can and cannot sell.
I think it's talking about pages for vendors and such.
This only applies if you are connecting to Office 365-hosted versions of these services with a non-Office 365 version of Office. But still...

Go back to this, then we'll talk.
As if there aren't broadcasters doing that en masse already *coughSinclaircoughNexstarcough*
