Find a password "safe" format that is well documented and widely supported, memorize a good long passphrase for that safe, and deploy it on some cloud service somewhere like DropBox, then each of your devices can access the safe, and you have a variety of software to manage the data. Schneier's "Password Safe" format seems like a good choice:

Even if it does not work with everything you might want it too, a password manager can make for much better security and convenience for large chunks of one's online life, at the expense of having a single point of failure I guess.

My family and I really enjoyed the first "Star Wars Uncut" production of "A New Hope" a few years back. My two pre-teens submitted a scene for this one and we have yet to look and see if it "made the cut". We are looking forward to watching it. There is a torrent of the completed film here: https://torrentz.eu/2cdaab3f30...

If you don't like the scene choices, I think the website has the ability to view the other options for scenes that were submitted - maybe you can even mix your own?

I don't think the Internet killed Saturday morning cartoons. I think corporate-inspired churn in pursuit of ever more income pushed out some very lovely and entertaining cartoons in favor of what was, quite frankly, awful junk. Poorly drawn, badly scored, badly scripted, and almost uniformly missing the hilarious innuendo and subtleties that were present in your typical 'toon from the nineteen-fifites and -sixties.

I'm a Gen-Xer born in 1967. Saturday Morning in the good ol' days (early-to-mid 70s) had a large share of crap, mostly forgotten today...

Josie & the Pussycats / The Grape Ape / Gilligan / Planet of the Apes / Waldo Kitty / Space Nuts - And that's just off the top of my head. None of this stuff was particularly highbrow, the Filmation-style animation would be laughed at today....

Canada switched the road signs in the 1970's. In comparison, the UK is a really really small country. I'm sure the UK could handle it.

We already have the tech to go to Mars

Yes and no. Even in your example, we have the tech to get machines to Mars but we still don't have the tech to get humans there.

Amongst other things -

- We don't yet know how to deal with the ionizing radiation on the way there

- We don't yet know how to build a lander to get humans safely down on Mars, then back up for the journey home.

Somewhere in the world is the person who keeps posting this on Slashdot.

In Soviet Russia, Beowulf Cluster build you!

Prior to Windows 8, what exactly where people using to start applications if they were not using the start menu?

They clicked "Start" then started typing "wor"... and hit enter.

Presto. MS Word.

It's OK as proper SF, but the main character is depicted almost as lacking emotions.

He's not lacking emotions. It's just that when something bad happens he curses and then sits about working the problem.

At one point Venkat comments on it by explaining that he's a NASA Mars Astronaut - One of the best in the world at coping with difficult situations.

"He's stuck out there. He thinks he's totally alone and that we all gave up on him. What kind of effect does that have on a man's psychology?" He turned back to Venkat. "I wonder what he's thinking right now?"

travel forced on employees

I'm a frequent business traveller. I appreciate getting out of the office and getting in front of customers and other users.

Canada is much more business friendly than the US

It's also easier to run a business in Canada because you don't have to pay out thousands per employee for health insurance. Most employers offer an 'extended health' package that includes coverage for things like prescription drugs and eyeglasses, but it's pennies compared to what US employer has to pay.

but Canada has far tighter immigration controls than the US

No it doesn't. If you work in certain fields, all you need to do is show up at the border with a letter of employment.

"Want to contribute to Canada? Come on in!"

Even if you don't have a letter you can immigrate via the points system. None of this "Green Card Lottery" nonsense.

If this is successfully argued, could it then be argued that there is no reason why there are any country restrictions on streaming any sort of media since it isn't "broadcasting"?

The content restrictions come from the content provider, not the streamer. Netflix Canada is less good than Netflix USA because the companies that provide content to Netflix say "You can't show this content in Canada."
