Uh, not just a Roman Catholic teaching, that's definitely a foundational belief for all Christianity. The entire point of Christianity is that all people are bad/sinful/imperfect, and therefore need reconciliation with the good/sinless/perfect God (Citation - Romans 3:23 - "... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,...) through Jesus. That's why Jesus had to be perfect, because otherwise his sacrifice would've been pointless and he would've just received the punishment for his own sin. Read up on "substitutionary atonement" for more details.
As for your other question - the idea is that God did create mankind to be perfect, but he had to give us some amount of free will, otherwise we're the equivalent of little preprogrammed robots running around doing what he programmed us do (not going to get into free will vs predestination here). However with that free will we chose (either literally "Adam and Eve chose" or "we all continue to choose" depending on how you take the first few chapters of Genesis) to sin, and therefore became imperfect.
That's what we believe, at least some of us. There's a lot of really bad theology out there these days.
For anyone else who was wondering about the "Bill Gates 3.0" part, the Bill we know and love/hate is William Henry Gates III. In case you were going to confuse him for the other Bill Gates'.
According to the other posts responding to you, "early next year" is either four weeks away, five weeks away, or within 60 days. It seems that we're really not sure.
She's just futzing with something around her ear, either a hearing aid or maybe an earing. When she stops to talk she is either swearing because she can't get whatever it is to adjust right, or telling her husband, the guy walking in front of her, to wait up for a second.
If that were true then why did the court overturn the restriction on social networking but not on encryption? Seems it'd be the other way around to me.
Exactly right. I'd have killed for something like this while I was in college, it'd have helped immensely, and I most definitely will be using it to brush up on things if/when I go back for grad school.
Their prices were getting ridiculous too. Something like $9.95 to rent a video game for 4-5 days, $3 for a *one* night rental when Redbox has them for $0.99. That's why I stopped shopping there more than anything else.
I never said burning it on site would or wouldn't work, I just pointed out that that is what their design calls for. Towing it somewhere else was never part of the design and therefore whether or not it can do that is irrelevant.
As a few other people have pointed out, the idea is that each robot burns the oil as it collects it, it doesn't tow it around. Whether or not that is feasible is still up in the air, but your math is irrelevant as far as their design concept is concerned.
It's been noted above that they are actually 32 KW beams, not 32 MW. Would this make a difference (less power meaning the mirror wouldn't be destroyed quite so easily)?
They are slowly adding more ad-time though. When I first started using Hulu regularly a year or two ago, most all the ads were 15-20 seconds per break. Then they started moving to 30-35 seconds... Now there are often two sets of 30-35 second ads back-to-back. Those 60-second beginning ads that use to be nice are now typically 2-2.5 minutes.
It is still much less than cable, yea, but that's not going to last too much longer.
at the end of their shifts, the officers download the video to an offsite server where it is stored and later pulled for evidence if necessary.
It'd be better if they could get it to stream the recording to a secure database. Easy solution if a cop does something stupid is "Whoops, the camera got broken in the struggle and the video was lost".

And again - no one cares.
As posted by someone else above, obligatory xkcd.

Flame away...
Best comment of the day. Well done sir!

Sounds like a lot more than just "shapes and objects" suggests.

Watch the video in TFA.

When will they realise that it's not the hardware that matters but the software.
No HDDs, no x86 Intel processors and a keyboard should be totally detachable for those who don't want to use it.
Yea, those are generally the biggest software issues I have with my tablet...

Pft, 4 million years isn't that long, is it?
Yea, I was about to say... if they think that's remarkable, boy have I got something to show them.
Were you home schooled, by chance?

Quotation marks are also "used".
Oh just stfu, that argument is getting so damn old.
No, I think he does indeed have something on those.

Effectively, if you dump enough on the keyboard...
