I think the majority of people would find mutilating one's sexual organs and appearance to be out of the mainstream. They have trouble distinguishing transgenders and people like Heidi Montag-- they both seem to have shocking abnormalities with their body image because we're not all shrinks. You act like the guy called for mass executions.
Also perhaps the Church needs to allow its priests some kind of legitimate sexual outlet (e.g. marriage).
Nearly all of these pedophiles abused boys. Since the Catholic Church is never going to accept homosexuality, accepting marriage is not going to provide a "legitimate sexual outlet". While boys are more accessible due to the traditional value of priests as role models, they could almost as easily take off their clerical collars and hit a few bars or dating websites. If the scandal were one where priests were spending the parish accounts on hookers and blow, I'd agree with you. I think it's a bit more complex.
Only one? Really? A123, Beacon, Abound Solar and Ener1 also took stimulus money and lost it all. Who was in charge of evaluating these companies for financial health? Would those people be so careless with their own money? Aren't we tired of having money taken from us and wasted on bad decisions?
I know it's fun to bash Fox News here, but it was a stupid, uninformed statement from one unqualified business analyst. The headline should probably read, "Fox News' Shibani Joshi Claims Germany Has More Sun Than USA", but that doesn't make for a great Slashdot headline. It's not like she's even an anchor, or has her own show like O'Reilly.
wbr1 makes a great point. Slashdot's blog is amazing. My friend's mom's parakeet makes $375 a day from home. It's totally legal and she didn't believe it could be done. http://isuck.example.com/gv56tgy
Package deliveries will continue under the new plan and were a bright spot in a bleak 2012 fiscal year, with package revenue rising 8.7 percent during the year.
Not even bothering to read the summary does not make a convincing retort.
That sounds cool. I went with Serviio because they have a free version and it runs as a service, but I haven't been able to figure out how to transcode. I assume it's because it's the free version, or I'm clueless, or both.
DAT could do a bit-for-bit perfect copy of a CD, whereas MP3 by definition is a lossy format. The industry wasn't quite as concerned because they were still focused on the idea of people making bootlegs that were indistinguishable from the original recording-- not realizing that 128kbps MP3s still sounded better than cassette dubs and were "good enough" that most listeners couldn't tell.
My BDP-S590 Blu-ray player might not be great, but it's at least very good. I bought it because I was interested in the streaming and DLNA features, and it seemed to be the only player on the market that didn't have complaints about being too underpowered to actually use these. That's been my experience: I've been streaming HD and playing both audio and video over my DLNA network without a hitch. The only reason it's not GREAT is because the video formats it will play locally is smaller than my old LG DVD player, and for some reason the list of formats it will play over DLNA is even smaller. It's documented in the manual (on actual PAPER), but you don't realize this until you buy it, and with so many codecs out there it's difficult to know what you need.

I don't recognize this generation that believes cowering in a hovel, unable to express one's own thoughts for fear of reprisal, constitutes "freedom".

Biblically, all sins are mortal crimes to God but indeed, humans are not supposed to treat them as such.

That's your opinion, Captain Vegemite.
You're part of the problem.

Your statement is as stupid as saying "ABC gets higher ratings than Wendy Williams." Do you understand why?
I love how Slashdot picks on one news channel so they can ignore all the other ones lying to us.

No deal unless I can use Papyrus!
So you're saying we're screwed?

He didn't say there was no corruption in the USA, Captain Straw Man.
That's because they already spent it, probably a decade before they got it.

I'm sorry... which conservatives made this decision to stop Saturday service, again?
It would be an even greater task than the production of Castaway.
Rule 34 invoked.
They could have at least put up a big red sign that said, "Starfish is about to make you its bitch" and leaked nude pics of the CEO's girlfriend.

You mean like how people with no job and no house will purposely run up debt on credit cards and utilities, then declare bankruptcy?
It is always an option to act morally. Morality is meaningless if we expect people to act like drones under the direct control of the government.
But I heard on Slashdot that corporations are evil, because they are treated like people so you can't get to the real people...
