Total energy output of the sun per second: 3.8×10^26 J (source: wikipedia) This amounts to 4.22×10^9 grams per second, or about 18 million cups of tea per second.
Computer Science is not IT and at some time / schools not even coding, web site work and more.
Indeed, with the current state of technology, it is MUCH easier to design some algorithm and proof it correct, than it is to write a working website/app, that is guaranteed to not break at some point in some browser on some platform.
The interesting point to take is that with these new javascript improvements, it is now possible to target your language of choice to the browser. So you could write FORTRAN if you like, and have it run in the browser. Or python, or haskell.
Please watch the video. The whole idea is that you can "delegate" your votes or even part of your votes to others. It is, imho, a brilliant idea, and they called it "liquid democracy".

What is wrong with that?
It is like saying: gallons per second of oil.
All of physics is reversible (except perhaps black holes and such), so your regular computer should be reversible too.
Did someone bother to send some food for the bacteria?
They will be eagerly waiting for the first manned mission to Mars...

Application neutrality? It seems you are trying to propose a new net-neutrality law in disguise.
But Mozilla's scheme may be:
1. Implement DRM to make sure the users don't massively ditch Firefox.
2. Attract more users, get >90% market share
3. Ditch DRM
Even if it didn't rotate, how do you know it's still the same spot?
Its atoms could be renewing themselves every X planck time units.
This guy should simply trademark his name, then sue everybody using it in the wrong way/wrong places.
Interesting. Makes me wonder, what is they age of the feature?
I wouldn't call a woman with big feet "a lot of woman" :)

The funny thing is, even the C++ standard library and the Boost library do not correctly support unicode.
Other option: they already have. It's a trick!
The resulting javascript VM will be far less efficient than the original one.

Cool stuff, but until one can write an optimized javascript virtual machine in it, I don't consider this project finished.
