Your data = "data which you fully control", usually a part of the data on your HDD. Its getting less and less year after year. Data about you = "data you use as payment for 'free' services"
In order to be abled to say "a small step for a man... etc" you have to be abled to walk. If we don't know how to set foot on another planet in our own neighbourhood, how should we accomplish this light years away, after hundreds or even thousands of years of travel?
I think the main problem movie studios face is sheer logistics. Its not evil-dom, and perhaps only a small grain of it. Think about it: you have produced a movie, and don't know how successful it will be. Do you want to manufacture millions of DVDs in vain, or only tens of thousands? These are all costs you have to bear, I guess. With every new movie being its own financial risk, its hard to release a movie world-wide without cost problems. Next are the cinemas. I guess the australian cinema companies are quite accustomed to having a pre-ordered list of successful films from the US releases. If there is an unsuccessful one, they can cancel shows. This adoption in small steps is what google is doing too for play store app updates.
English has 1.8 billion speakers. You can't target them all, in cinemas across the world, in one day. Yes, perhaps you have fast enough internet to rsync a 4k HD 3D movie to thousands of cinemas. But explain sending their intellectual property they have worked their assess of for the last months or years over the internet, the "spooky place" with the pirates, to a movie label.
What I wonder: why are the patent numbers so great these days? I mean I understand it for software, where you basically put a patent marker on every for loop of your program, just because USPTO doesn't care, or can't care because patent number is so high, and you make sure applications are highly obfuscated. But why are "real life" hardware patents so numerous? Do they micro-patent everything too?
There is a difference. Content is consumed for the "informational" content it has, while bread is bought to eat its substance. While I think a 25 year limit after creator death is a good copyright term, the content creators still need something they can live off. You don't need to block geoblock-circumvention services for that I think.
Disabling since 2011 and very unhappy with site adoption. At least if the site is popular, its targeted with 3rd party software, like twitch for example.
And even then your security can be compromised by anybody who can stick an usb stick into your server at the datacenter, or has physical access by other means. Therefore, you can't just chose some datacenter where you put down your server and this is it, you have to chose one thats guarded with video surveillance, and proper protocols. And even then, a data compromise can be maximum detected, but stopping is even harder. Also you have to trust the people guarding your server. What if they get an NSL? but of course, if the NSA really sends an NSL requesting specifically your data, then you are fucked already, and they usually use other methods I guess. So the only data protection advantage you get from setting up your own server in a datacenter, is that NSA will most likely be too lazy to grab your data. I guess they have collective VPS programs already.
But facebook wants to become one. If they could decide, there wouldn't be any news websites, every story would be shared over facebook. Having private companies providing a public service works quite well at many places. Take media and twitter as example. At other places (broadband ISPs in the US) it sucks like hell.
Javascript is a scripting language. It has weak typing. In order to be sure of *anything*, you *have* to test. I agree, using jquery is as stupid as using boost. But you still have to test your application, and best you do it automated. That's what these frameworks are for.
Either we do it, or we let nature do it. And we do it right now. All this "world hunger" problem isn't just more than population control. Or think about the program China's been pulling off.
The recent release of firefox 38.0.5 on june 2 has been below the radar of many news sites, including Slashdot, because it was only a "patch" release.
However, 38.0.5 included real feature changes, meaning the inclusion of a proprietary web service. I not just hate that firefox added a proprietary web service prominently to its browser, also they smuggled this in in a patch release, avoiding press attention.
Firefox isn't a randy bitch dog that every dog inside the SV startup neighbourhood springs on, its a major web browser which respects its users. At least it was until 38.0.5.
I accepted that they added the social API, I understood their EME changes, I've thought firefox hello was a good addition. But for 38.0.5 pocket integration, I'm heavily disappointed by mozilla.
And comatose patients who have been pronounced brain dead but whose bodies are unimpaired could wake up and walk again if they received a functioning new head.
Rather not. Its a body transplant, not a head transplant. Yes, the bodie's immune system will (or will not) attack the head, not the head's system the bodie's, but the head has the brain, and that's where most of the thinking is.
I guess in some years we'll figure out how to transplant heads, and perhaps one day we will have the possibility to grow brainless clones that have a computer controlling all the low level functions, to grow into an age they can recieve their new head. I guess this will rule out lots of ageing illnesses, but will open up serious ethical questions.

And many don't want it inside their summary text simply because you should visit their page, and view their ads.

I, for one, welcome our new url overlords!

This is no troll. This is a danger of this technology.
A) It' s a w3c standarized effort
Close, but still wrong
We’re pretty early into the overall process—there is no draft spec or even final formal standards body chosen, just a W3C Community Group
But it will be an open standard, thats sure.
"The Cloud" needs this. Microsoft for example has used asm.js inside their office online product.

seems this topic has already been covered.
Either we do it, or we let nature do it. And we do it right now. All this "world hunger" problem isn't just more than population control. Or think about the program China's been pulling off.
admittedly, this is also true for all feedback.
The difference is, it gets saved in the cloud, and your data can be sold to third parties.
It works
Ship that by default if you dare!
Yes, exactly.

What would be your proposed copyright ruleset, so that content producers still can live off their creations?
