@lmviper01: First off, one of the (very) few things the Bible is (remotely) consistent about is its listing of generations - all of the "begats," including how old each person was. So, through that, we can say that the Bible says that the world is 10,000 years old.

Can you say, "placebo"?

@lmviper01: Really? Because I'm pretty sure the Bible (supposed perfect word direct from God) says the world is 10,000 years old. Whereas science says it's over 4 billion years old. So, uh…that's a disparity. Just sayin'

@Paul Beardfacé: Even the big named ones on that list are hard to really consider being benefited or motivated by religion. Copernicus and Galileo were both persecuted by the Church (Spanish Inquisition, anyone?), Newton was Christian, but disliked organized religion. Most of the rest were hampered by religious

@Wade McGillis: Yeah, totally. It was the Catholic church who commissioned Galileo's work. And that of Copernicus. And Isaac Newton was totally paid by Christians. Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, the Curies, Steven Hawking, ALL of these people were TOTALLY aided by Christians.

@anesthete: You have that same problem with any counterfeit currency. That's why there's such a thing as money laundering. To get your counterfeited bills into general circulation. An intelligent counterfeiter will never actually go out and spend the money on their own, even at little podunk gas stations. That's how

@achalddave: Banks will almost always catch counterfeit bills. You would trade them in at banks.

@Anrkist: You've obviously never done any aging work. I grew up around a haunted house, and here's how things worked there. You take cheap materials (well, cheaper than what you'd use in actual construction), make them look brand new and nice, and then you age them and make them look really old, generally by spraying

@BBQ_Sauce_Blues: Except I still see 15-year old bills. And people still accept 15-year old bills. You have to tell people to trade them in, and that after five years, the old bills are worthless. Otherwise, people can simply counterfeit old bills.

You know, the problem with new bills: they still accept old ones. How does it exactly prevent counterfeiting if someone can simply counterfeit old bills and use those instead? If you really want to prevent counterfeiting, you produce new bills, and make everyone go to the bank and trade in their money for new bills.

@BurtonSukari: They were merely reprinting a story that BGR ran first. So…it was BGR who failed to vet the sources.

@Jeb_Hoge: It has a ppi of about 280, which is in between the Droid's 265 and the iPhone 4's 329. And PS, I can't see any pixels on my Droid screen either. Unless I take out my contacts so that I have a focal distance of about an inch.

To me, this sounded more like he was saying the Droid has the best display, not the iPhone. Better contrast, better color reproduction, and an adequate (though admittedly smaller) PPI. Are there any other categories worth considering? Refresh rate, which is fairly worthless to know on a phone (and probably close to

I'm sorry, but that trailer makes me think it's supposed to be funny. And Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg doesn't help matters. So is it a drama or a comedy? Please don't tell me it's a dramedy.

I'm so glad I don't have an iPhone 4. My hand generally rests right at that corner when I hold my Droid. And yes, I am right handed. Talk about an epic fail, Apple.

@iRaphael: Um…have you not read their "test notes" of the iPhone 4? They're all basically sucking Apple's proverbial balls. Especially the article about the screen. They sit there and say how they get so close they get cross-eyed and blurry-eyed trying to see pixels, and guess what? You can do that on a Droid too. I

@LordPants: Dunno if you're a fan of rooting and modding your phone, but if you are, I'd suggest the X. The Incredible is apparently very hard to root. And the Snapdragon processor is not much of a fan of overclocking. The OMAP chip, on the other hand, is great for OCing. I've had my Droid - 600MHz native - at 1.2GHz

@n00neimp0rtant: I didn't drop one from a roller coaster, but I did drop one from an amusement park ride (some weird thing in the Circus, Circus majig). Batter flew out, SIM card flew out, back of the phone was ten feet away. Put it back together, worked fine.

@walkingagh: Heh. Me too, me too. Although I am fairly annoyed at the scratch I have on my screen. Damned Gorilla Glass isn't gorilla-y enough. It is a tiny little thing that I can only see when I've just cleaned my screen, but still. It's annoying.
