I had to learn Kanji (albeit much fewer than you'll have to for Chinese) when I took Japanese in college, and the easiest way I found to learn the characters is to memorize what the simplest characters look like first. That way, the more complicated ones are just combinations of things you already recognize. Plus, their meanings are usually related in some way.
Beyond that, a program named Anki helped me a great deal with learning the Kanji since I didn't have to spend a ton of time for characters that were easy to learn.
I don't know that they really need to fit the "tab" metaphor any more than word processors need to stick to typewriting conventions. Seems like most web browsers have the same tabbing behavior, after all.
I would think the usability of a system where the tabs are forced to attach to their pages would introduce more problems than benefits, and most of the benefits would be purely cosmetic.

"Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement"
It seems to me that the question is that of Jesus' authority versus Moses' authority.
"There is no practical way within the Christian framework to challenge Jesus' flat-out prohibition on divorce."
Should there be? It isn't a loophole at all that Jesus would challenge Moses' authority.
But what's even more important than that is the fact that Jesus' challenge hinges on his authority in the first place. Does he have authority? He claimed to be the Son of God. If he wasn't, he has no authority.
If he does have authority, as you seem to imply, then it's not a logical problem at all. The Son of God wouldn't need empirical evidence of God's will, since he is the incarnation of God on earth.
But if he doesn't have authority, and he is not the Son of God as he claimed, then Christianity would be a farce, and this question would be moot because the Church would have no authority.
You can say Christianity is not science. The Bible isn't a science textbook. The Bible isn't supposed to replace the Arts or the Sciences. I don't even think it's that big of a problem for someone to say that God created life through evolution, despite the fact that I disagree.
The problem, then, is taking a belief in God and a belief in the Bible's doctrine as a substitute for empirical sciences, logic, and mathematics. You wouldn't teach Calculus out of the Bible and you cannot teach religion from a Calculus textbook.
So in conclusion, yes, Jesus would certainly be pro-science. But ignorance is present both inside and outside of religion. There are science-ignorant preachers and there are also religion-ignorant scientists.
Being a student of the shorin ryu style, a japanese culture fan, and a bigtime nerd (in other words all of the above) I can say that it definitely helped me. Besides, being more confident and more capable of defending yourself is a good way to keep from being picked on in school. (Been there done that. Beat up a bully in junior high for picking on me. I weighed 95 lbs at the time.)

I wonder if the next Steve Jobs will be whoever puts on his turtleneck and blue jeans, The Santa Clause-style.

"phantom".
Lots of engineers resent their code, I'll bet.
"Damaging"? How about "more damaging than learning to use GOTO"?

You can do things cheap, good, or fast. Pick any two.
Suppose it's your job to remove spyware for a living. Does that mean your job is to make your own job unneeded. *Pondering the potential paradox*
