1) If you are adopted by your father, you can't be considered his descendent thus his genealogy would not count as yours
Correct.
2) Both genealogies listed in the bible are Joseph's (instead of one being Joseph's and the other being Mary's as some argue both of which have David in the genealogy)
Blood lines were very important to the bible authors. It was believed that women did not contribute to blood lines at all. After all, women were created for man; To follow man. They were not created to follow Jehovah. They were cherished property.
That one bloodline was for Mary makes a lot of sense today. But the New Testament was written almost 2,000 years ago when the lineage of Mary was considered unimportant. You can not be adopted into the House of David, nor can a messiah trace his blood line through his mother's lineage. If Mary's lineage fulfills the prophesies, and everyone in the community knows that Joseph is not the father, then why include his lineage?
Messianic tradition dictates that a messiah will produce two sons (in order to carry on the line of David). Joseph fulfilled his requirement by having Jesus and his brother James. If Jesus were not his son, he would have been obliged to keep trying. If he hadn't his position in the Jewish community would have been less respected. And he was well-respected in his community.
I don't have an online source for Messianic law. Most of what I've read is from an a Christian author who made a very convincing argument for reconciling the Dead Sea scrolls with Bible stories. Jesus was a Nazarene[1]. It is likely that Joseph was progressive also, but that did not allow Jesus or Joseph to rewrite the law. Later, his charisma and political prowess allowed Jesus to reverse the judgements of the Essenes without being a priest himself. Such feats would be considered miracles by his contemporaries.
At the time Jesus lived, a Nazarene was not a person from Nazareth (that would be a Nazarati.). He (or she) were part of a progressive movement which sought among other crazy ideas raising the status of women and the miraculous concept of allowing the guests at wedding feasts to drink wine instead of water as law demanded.
Jesus is a mesiah. A mesiah can trace his male blood line to the House of David (Solomon's Dad). That is one reason for the geneology of Jesus. If Jesus is a mesiah, Mary wasn't a virgin. Joseph is the real father and Jesus is not the Son of God
If Jesus is the son of an imaculate conception, then Joseph is not the father, Jesus is not a mesiah and the prophesy is not fulfilled.
Of course Yahweh is omnipotent. It can create a paradox.
Your ideas are rather crude. We understand what you are are afraid of, but we already collect data in the form you mention. While Wal-mart and other retailers are just jumping on the bandwagon, we introduced hidden RFID and similar devices more than a decade ago. Give us your name and address and we'll tell you what you will buy next month. We will be watching . ..
Someone makes a mistake and the ID for my underwear isn't updated in the master Wallmart database. I wear them to another Wallmart, where I'm arrested for shoplifting.
I am not aware of any state which has a law allowing you to be arrested for walking into a store with stolen merchandise.
The worst that might happen is you are asked to step aside so any ID tags can be deactivated as you enter the store.
Perhaps that's the real problem here: they treat us all like shoplifters instead of customers and thus assume we have no rights.
Exactly how does a retailer protect against shoplifting without incoveniencing all customers? Try running your own retail business. You will quickly see that the shoplifters have the upper hand. The laws are usually stacked against the retailer. A potential shoplifter must be in sight of an employee from the time they steal an item till the time they walk out the store. If there is any doubt whether the customer might have dropped the item, they usually walk.
The only place that windows beats linux in usability is when the users are used to Windows.
But many users are used to Windows. It is the first OS they have ever used. It is likely the one at their job and the one there neighbors have. Since many (non-technical) users already are familiar with Windows, they are going to need a Windows-like interface to change to *nix based systems. Features that include auto updating of the OS (like XP) and the ability for non-geeks to install software. (Read as: "Not a command-line interface.")
Yes, it is very clear that you would prefer a *nix system. But you're not representative of the market.
IV. 1. Lo, in 1962 the Great Gesargenplotz came back, and it saw what He had done. And the Great Gesargenplotz was wroth, and it spoke unto Him saying "Why have you done this? Why have you created these creatures just to torment them?" 2. And He answered, saying "I have done so because it amuses me, Great Gesargenplotz. Of what matter is their pain and disappointment? They are not gods as you and I, they exist only for my amusement." 3. The Great Gesargenplotz, hearing His answer, knew that His heart was hard. The Great Gesargenplotz repented it that it had made Him. 4. The Great Gesargenplotz ate Him and He was no more.
After being eaten by His creator, I think His patent lapsed.
Regardless of whether you agree with a law or not, you don't break it, you change it.
The United States was created after thirteen British colonies broke the law instead of following it. I can picture you standing near the harbor flailing your arms and ranting about how the colonials shouldn't be thowing tea in the water.
Civil Disobedience has changed many laws. And it has done so quite effectively. Rosa Parks broke the law when she sat on a bus. I wonder what the world would have been like if you had been the bus driver.
When you life is a product's hands you need someone like the FDA looking out for you.
Let me make sure I have this right. If my life is dependent on a machine, I should rely on a federal agency whose chief changes more often than the President. An agency so big that I am not even a number in their system. An agency influenced not just by my health concerns, but by politics, corporate lobbying, and a constantly changing budget.
Thank you, No. When my life's on the line I want quality in my corner.

I had a box of Lego once, but it was destroyed by a pen full of sheep.
I met a couple of Manuals once. Could never read the father any better than the son.
