No, that's definitely not true. The hypervisor isn't what made running Linux possible; it's what made it limited when it did run. The hypervisor is also actively involved in the regular PS3 OS. It's an essential part of the PS3, and they'd never build a retail version without one.
Bit early for April Fool's Day, but the last image proves it. There is no way in hell that any program would take the upward curve of the hill in the lower-right background and turn it into a DOWNWARD curve. That's something that you could only possibly know to do if you had an original image where the hill curved downward. Not to mention all the cloud detail that simply does not exist anywhere in the panorama.
Clearly all they've done is *added* a bunch of things to images (or in the case of the 'panorama', just deleted part of it to fake a panorama), then "used the tool" to "remove" them.
You're right, it could go both ways. But the idea that vaccination stops epidemics is not just a matter of assumption. It's a matter of empirical study and evidence.
Are you seriously asserting that drinking diluted bee venom will cause a histamine reaction? Guess what, kiddo - every single effect you mentioned is SOMETHING TREATABLE BY PLACEBO!
There have been PLENTY of studies on low-dilution products, but the only ones that are ever positive are the ones with tiny sampling sizes, poor controls, or products that contain ingredients that are already known to be pharmacologically active!
This is another reason I loathe DRM. Amazon is apparently the sole distributor of the authorized electronic version of these books. They apparently have unquestionable control over whether or not they'll even be available for purchase, and they can revoke ownership of the books remotely without people even noticing (viz the 1984 kerfuffle).
When I buy something, I want to own it. I don't want to license it at the whim of a service that dictates what I can do with it. That's just ridiculous.
People have had LV0, LV1, and NAND dumps for a while now. They were gained through... less than legitimate means. They've been reverse-engineering them for some time.
If he managed to get them on his own, fantastic work. If not... well...
Not logically contradictory, just contradictory to intuition. Our brains didn't evolve to work at the quantum level, so it seems illogical to us. Do note, also, that 'illogical' and 'logically contradictory' don't completely overlap. Something can be logically non-contradictory but still illogical.
Give me an example of something logically self-contradictory that exists, and I'll consider your argument valid. Otherwise, there is no reason whatsoever to assume that any such thing could exist.
You're not describing what is logical. You're describing what happened. It has nothing to do with logic - it's just what worked. There could be dozens of other ways that species could thrive. In fact, you've pretty much described OUR species and ignored that other species have survived just as well with vastly different social structures.
You cannot derive an "ought" from an "is." You've committed a rather anthropocentric version of the naturalistic fallacy.
If you are not a theist - that is, a believer in a god - you are, by definition, an atheist - a non-believer in a god or gods. It's a dichotomy. Agnosticism is about knowledge, not belief.
Atheism postulates nothing. And, actually, you *can* disprove some gods. Logically self-contradictory gods, for example, cannot exist.
Flamebait? Really? OP makes a bunch of assertions without defending them, I call his bluff, and I'm marked flamebait. Awesome. Unless, of course, it was for misspelling 'ought'. I blame that on tainted coffee beans.
That's nothing. My YouTube captcha was once 'atheist'. And I am. I almost became a believer again, until I realized that YouTube seems to have a tendency to make captchas that are at least partly based on the keywords for the videos.

The stimuli in this case are the chemicals, and they ALTER what people accept as reality.
Wouldn't the iPad buyers be more like johns than hookers? Five-diamond girlfriend experience...
I'm pretty sure the whole thing is either a hoax demo intended to drum up buyers, or a really early April Fool's prank.

And the only one YOU presented was a pro-homeopathy site listing discredited studies. Nice try kiddo.
That would be a huge surprise to Samuel Hahnemann, the guy who invented homeopathy in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I bet they're delicious.
Needs more acid.
You have said nothing about what is moral, only about what you should do if you want to stay alive.

Depends on the kind of god, I suppose. If my god is an apple, then I can be 100% sure... and stupid :)

Point taken.
You're not describing what is logical. You're describing what happened. It has nothing to do with logic - it's just what worked. There could be dozens of other ways that species could thrive. In fact, you've pretty much described OUR species and ignored that other species have survived just as well with vastly different social structures.

"Atheism states that there is no higher power in the world."
Atheism states no such thing. It is the rejection of a claim, not a claim of its own.
