Thou shalt surely die - moth tamuth; Literally, a death thou shalt die; or, dying thou shalt die. Thou shalt not only die spiritually, by losing the life of God, but from that moment thou shalt become mortal, and shalt continue in a dying state till thou die. This we find literally accomplished; every moment of man's life may be considered as an act of dying, till soul and body are separated. Other meanings have been given of this passage, but they are in general either fanciful or incorrect.
And/or, the old testament is written in Hebrew, not English and how you interpret the English version you may be familiar with is not nearly so relevant as what's actually written there in Hebrew...
The ongoing discussion of how God's will works in light of his foreknowledge is often loud and vociferous among believers who hold one position or another. There is no clear answer for those who believe except to accept how God describes himself. That said, it is written that the way of God confounds the wise, so...
You may be trolling but just in case you're serious:

Way too many ignorant people out there who don't believe the Bible who like to mouth off at believers or scholars when they themselves don't realize they're actually the ones that are mistaken about its contents.
Your complaint appears to be the lack of a sheet feeder for your camera, not that your camera can't take enough photos per minute. Aside from book scanning (for which traditional scanners are all but useless anyway), I can leaf through and photograph about one page per two seconds. Faster if I didn't care about carpel tunnel. Yes, it requires a tripod, but I think the point is still valid.
As I posted elsewhere in this story, I still use Blackbox regularly. Its fast and simple and works very well for what it is -- and the menu configuration is quite simple too. The only WM I miss using regularly is Enlightenment -- I haven't tried a release in over a year but back on 0.95 and 0.96 I was really thrilled with my GUI in a way that I haven't been since. Here's hoping 1.00 lands before we leave this rock;-)
I have yet to find a GUI that can replace good old Unix pipes for complex work. I can imagine someone developing a drag'n'drop development system like the old "Forest and Trees" software that works similarly but I can't see any benefit to doing so. As it stands now, I can do *anything* from a command-line and simply *lots* from a GUI. That's why I use lots of terminal windows in a GUI on my desktops... best of both worlds.
OT but I use Blackbox on all my headless servers as a VNC GUI when I need one for the same reasons; its functional and yet very fast with very low memory requirements. On the odd occasion when I need a remote GUI on a server, I can launch 'vncserver' with blackbox in the xstartup and know it will be ready almost instantly with nearly no impact on the server's performance.
My favourite quote for this myth (Google "myth Jesus didn't claim to be God" for lots more) is "The truth is, before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58 NLT)
Anyone with any knowledge of Jewish history would recognize this as straight blasphemy from anyone's mouth but God's. To use the name that God had identified himself with to Moses while also claiming to have pre-existed Abraham is not a small claim. There are several other good references, but this is a tech site;-)
A modern digital camera has plenty of resolution to act as a page scanner. Your average smart phone can take a photo of a printed page to OCR later without any problem at all; stop using scanners, they're overkill.
The second question was obviously rhetorical, and meant to point out that the one talking to him was skirting the point of acknowledging that he is God. He acknowledged his Godhood on several other occasions, making this one out to be a denial is to ignore the rest of his words.
Obviously modern Judaism is blasphemy to Christians and Muslims as it denies their beliefs, despite sharing a common God and many common prophets, their view of how God has interacted with the modern world and what he expects of us differs.
Except even in Muslim terms, the Prophet is not regarded the same way as Christians view the Christ. He is a prophet to them, on the level that Isaiah was to the Israelites, but he is not a saviour nor does he self-represent as being a deity.
Proper respect for the Prophet himself is an issue Muslims often fail to deal with I find, not knowing whether to revere him (and thus possibly blaspheme by treating him as a God figure) or treat him too lowly and seem disrespectful.
Similar problems exist for the reverence of Mary among some Christian groups.
I loved my TI99/4A... I still have it somewhere. I didn't realize there was an active group for it, but its still an awfully advanced system for its era.
To be fair, it would be quite plausible to write a "native" application for the virtual bytecode in Dalvik instead of for the hardware of the phone. This would allow assembly-like precision of code management (and add its complexity) without exposing the hardware to the programmer. I'm not saying they do this, since it seems obvious they do not, but it is an option for original intent.
I've had no significant binary blob driver issues with the desktop in Gnome 3, but I can't say I've timed it against using nouveau much since it just works.
At any rate, I'm most happy with NV+Binary drivers on Linux these days, have been for a while. When ATI or someone else or Nouveau catches up, then great.
From the "official version of Android" perspective, considering it is open source, CyanogenMod is technically no less official than Samsung's spin on Android, except that one is from Samsung and the other isn't. From the "official Samsung product" perspective, all they did was hack a third party piece of code (Android) to work on their phone; that's about as official as the version of Windows that shipped with my old Dell. Is the Dell hardware any less supported on Linux? No. You just need to run Windows on it to prove its a hardware error if they don't have Linux tests developed for it.
If you idiots would read the article, you'd find out the hardware in question is noise-reduction hardware that makes Siri and other voice-recognition work at a longer range properly. Siri would work just fine without the hardware, but not at arm's length on a busy sidewalk.
If you write native code, your applications are still packaged into an.apk file and they still run inside of a virtual machine on the device. The fundamental Android application model does not change.

Umm, what happened after 930 years then? Death. He died. God said he'd die. I see no compatibility error here.

I acknowledge your first point, but fringes and angles are easily fixed with auto-rotate and auto-crop; both already done by scanners as well.

I had the 4K expansion with the voice output system for mine, cost an additional $400 or something. It was pretty crazy.

My apologies, I linked the wrong page; the *other* NDK page (one link up) has the exact quote I gave.
Note, from http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html:
Note that the Atrix by Motorola (running Android) has an optional full screen dock and keyboard to use the phone as a notebook instead.
