Which if nothing else should be mandatory reading for people who mistakenly believe gun control can be made to work --- I used to make black powder by collecting nitrates from underneath piles of cow manure in local fields, collecting charcoal when emptying the ashes from the fireplace and sulfur by purchasing sulfur candles from the local store (unfortunately there weren't any naturally occurring sulfur deposits w/in bicycling distance).

During high school he attended after-school lectures at HP and was later hired there (alongside Steve Wozniak), then after dropping out of Reed College he worked as a technician at Atari.

The creation story, as told in the Bible, is a parable, intended to make intelligible to primitive tribes that God had created the world --- it's not literal historical truth, and it's only attempts to view it as such which cause the difficulties which you cite.

Believing in God doesn't mandate a belief in Creationism (though believing in Creationism requires the belief in God). Anyone whose faith is so fragile that it could be damaged by a rigorous class in evolutionary biology should go back to CCD or Sunday School or whatever their faith's equivalent is.
No, they can't teach Creationism since we've already had that trial and it has been determined in court that ``science is what scientists do''.
People who believe in the literal Word of God as the Bible remind me of the grand-daughter of a family friend --- he was a woodworker, old school, wanted me to be his apprentice so he could put me to work re-sawing wood rather than purchase a band saw. He made a cradle as a gift for the grand-daughter in question, for her to keep her dolls in --- she was very impressed when her mother told her, ``Your grandfather made this by hand.'' and immediately evinced a desire to see his and to see his shop and to watch him make something. The visit was arranged and upon arrival, the young lady was taken out to the shop and the large door rolled open, revealing rack upon rack of chisels, saws, hand planes, a simply unbelievable quantity of clamps and other hand tools --- the girl let out a shriek such as only a 5 year old girl can and yelled, ``Mommy! You lied! Grandpa doesn't make things by hand! He uses tools!''.
God is quite capable of using DNA and RNA and quantum mechanics and other theories which we have yet to learn about to make people and the world.
Moreover, those who believe that humanity is incapable of learning how God works are being blasphemous and not remembering the lesson of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:6) which indicates that humanity's learning capacity is without limit.

Moreover, your evaluation of the job merely on the basis of a single number says far more about your character (or lack thereof) than anything else.

You have to understand that when he was first asked to write this ``book'' he wrote out longhand ~600 pages and submitted that as the first chapter --- when his editor received this manuscript he asked in response, ``Don, just how long is this book going to be?'' --- after a bit of back-and-forth they worked out that the first submission would be the bulk of Vol. 1 and planned out the balance of the volumes. Then the Monotype casting machines were retired and he took a bit of time off to write TeX (see his book _Digital Typography_ for the full story).
TeX was declared finished in 1982 and since then he's caught up on bug reports for his other books &c.

~7" is the size of the early Newton MessagePads and many other PDAs (also a fair number contemporary ebook readers).
It's a useful size and one which I've found worth carrying around since having shirts tailor-made to have pockets to accommodate my Newton --- even now I frequently carry my Sony PRS-600 in a shirt pocket.
Giuseppe Verdi would argue against that --- he was prominent in the formation of the Societa Italiana Degli Autori Ed Editori (SIAE) in 1882 --- which was scarcely the first such effort ~128 years ago --- GEMA itself was formed in 1915 (95 years ago) out of an organization which started in 1903 (107 years ago).
If you want music to be free, limit yourself to public domain stuff (Roger McGuinn's Folk Den http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/folkden-wp/ is an excellent source which often includes sheet music) or write something of your own and release it to the public domain, but if you want to use something which someone else has written and copyrighted one should adhere to their wishes.
You could have that, if you're willing to accept the tradeoff in battery life / performance.
A Retina-display-like 326 ppi would require 2529 x 1897 pixels for an iPad's 10.4" display --- 13.7MB for display alone (up from 2.25MB for 1024 x 768) --- unfortunately, that's not happening in the near future.
Crunch the numbers on it --- 326 ppi even on the iPad's 10.4" display is _way_ more display bandwidth than any graphics chipset currently available, let alone feasible for portable use.
Unfortunately, milling involves side-to-side stress, so all the homemade ones I've seen have issues w/ slop &c., so as you likely had surmised, tolerances are an issue. If someone has plans for a mill which can do precise tolerances in hard materials, I'd be very interested.

A 7" version at the same 1024 x 768 resolution would have higher pixels per inch --- so that would be one justification for the in-between size.
A smaller size would also compete nicely w/ the Kindle, Nook and Sony e-book readers (despite not being e-ink).
And if it had a stylus, would be the replacement for the Newton MessagePad which Steve Jobs promised when Apple absorbed Newton and killed it.
