You can download CAB files, or use special EXE files, to install stuff outside of Microsoft's app store on Windows Mobile too.No option enabling required. In fact, before they made their app store, that was the only way to do it. The best app store for winmo is Omarket anyway, which offers tons of freeware for download instead of the expensive (especially in MS's store) winmo commercial apps.

I know I'm going to regret this, but since you seem to be a tolerant person of good will, I will respond honestly and respectfully. Hopefully neither of us are like the people who want to execute that poor journalist this article was about, and can tolerate each other's human rights to think what we wish to think.

John 14:11 is perhaps the second-most obvious (though there are countless other examples): "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves."

Absent the claim about believing through miracles, a claim of a prophet that is explicitly rejected in the Torah as a method of proof. The test is if he asks us to change our religion, in which case he is a false prophet, not if he produces miracles - which the Torah tells us to not heed. The rest of that sentence, by the way, about G-d being in one etc, could nearly be said by any Chabad Chasid, though not in precisely those words.

In this text, he's using "in" in an existential manner; it refers to coexistence and coequality of essence and substance.

You're adding in the trintarian stuff now, do you really want to try to prove the Council of Nicene from the NT?!

The most-most obvious, however, is John 8:58: "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." This is the crucial one because "Yahweh" is simply ancient Hebrew for "I am." At the time, there were something like four or five extant claims to being the messiah. But the one guy calling himself Yahweh was considered a blasphemer.

YKVK is more than just I Am, it's the ground of existence, being and becoming to put it in western terms, something none of flesh and blood could claim of themselves. That's getting into theological territory, however. There is a reason why the other claimants to being the messiah got more Jewish followers, such as Bar Kochba who had many thousands of Jewish followers including Rabbi Akiva shortly after the events depicted in the NT, or Sabbatai Tzvi who had half a million followers in the 17th century CE before his apostacy to Islam. We believe in the Tanakh's description of what the messiah is, and not the author of the Gospel of John, and according to you, what the protagonist of the Gospels said of himself. We have no reason to believe that either our religion changed, or what our scriptures and traditions say the Messiah is, is not the case. There are many good reasons to believe, however, that xtianity is another religion other than Judaism.

After the destruction of the temple by the Romans, Judiasm has had a two-thousand-year identity crisis. Many Jews no longer believe in a moshiach. Others think the moshiach will be just an event, or an idea. A mere concept that will somehow change the world. But in the original Hebrew texts (from before 200 CE, so predating talmudic texts like the mishnah), the moshiach was definitely a person.

I don't wish to be disrespectful, but you are misinformed about Jewish history, and Jewish texts, and overall Jewish belief outside of the Reform and Conservative movements which only began recently and themselves claim to be a "progression" from prior beliefs anyway so they wouldn't disagree with my assessment. The Mishnah and Gemara and all Orthodox Jews (i.e. all Jews until about a hundred and fifty years ago) believe the messiah is a person. Definitely a person, not a deity, or even a mere idea. A person, nearly as great as Moses our Teacher, who will transform the world for good, more than evil men have tried to transform the world for bad in the 20th century and other times.

The belief that he's a mere concept or event that you cite is that of Reform Judaism, not a "2,000 year identity crisis", but from a now almost uniquely American identity crisis. (Originally German, as Reform, was started to combat antisemitism in Germany by making Judiasm less "particular" and more like their more liberal neighbors. That didn't work too well, though before Hitler even in Germany it managed to produce a 85% intermarriage rate.)

I should add that it is your right and privilege to believe otherwise concerning who and what the Torah and prophets and writings teach the messiah is, and I wish you no ill will for having different beliefs than mine. After all, Jews don't believe only Jews get into heaven; so if you follow the 7 laws of Noach you'll be OK, and even if you don't, it is none of my business what you believe or do as long as it doesn't hurt me or others. We believe that all nations except for Amelek will repent when the Messiah comes, and that is when it is proper for non-Jews to change their beliefs to Noachide ones unless they wish of their own free will and persistence to do otherwise beforehand. As we Jews say, Shalom, peace, and I hope nothing I've written has irritated you merely by disagreeing with you, since after all, that's what separates us and the people who will probably execute that poor journalist.

The impression of fanaticism comes from the few noisy/powerful fanatics. Who probably sit and read news reports about the few noisy/powerful fanatical Christians in the West.

I know someone who worked in Saudi Arabia, which is the only way foreigners are allowed to visit there except for the Hajj. They indeed cut off hands for theft, and heads for blasphemy. The latter, executions by sword, are performed by the hundreds per-year there in public stadiums. Maybe the average Saudi Arabian is a peaceful modern-day westerner in his outlook, I'm not a mind-reader. The average Saudi Arabian, however, does not vote, as they have a monarchy, and the only opposition to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia there are even more religiously fanatical and anti-western (if that can be believed) than the Monarchy itself, i.e. Al-Qaeda. Have you actually traveled extensively in the Muslim world, or do you just blindly assume it's like the US except for with turbans or something?

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.

Out of idle curiosity, and it really is idle because I'm not a believer in the NT even if he does say that, where exactly does he say that plainly? I don't mean just reinterpreting something he said as a rhetorical denial, I mean a place where he says. "I am the son of God" or "I am God". Incidentally, the Jewish version of the messiah is not a deity-in-flesh kind of thing, so if he said he was the Messiah (which he doesn't appear to quite owe up to either) he isn't saying that. I also mean "red letter" stuff, as the apostles were mostly gentiles or highly assimilated Jews who spoke Greek who were quite probably previously members of groups such as Mithraism prior to their becoming members of the new faith, and the Greco-Roman culture wasn't exactly known for a lack of syncretic tendencies.

You haven't explained why they need to produce material that's enriched beyond what's needed for nuclear power production, and in excess of what's needed for domestic medical needs as they've also claimed it's for. It's clear they're trying to obtain nuclear weapons.

Iran was offered safe nuclear power, i.e. that Russia or some other neutral country would do the producing of the fuel. Negotiators many times offered that as the main condition to lifting of sanctions in exchange for them stopping producing the stuff that's refine-able into nuclear weapons. Iran said no, we have to for "national pride" make it ourselves. Either they have a heck of a lot of national pride over making Uranium-235 of a grade better than what's needed for power reactors, or they are trying to acquire nukes. I suspect the latter.

Good post, but you should have been more careful about some of your facts, like the foreign aid one, it detracts from the truth of the rest of what you say. - a Jew

Several people said the same thing about Nokia phones, but they according to XDA have carrier IQ also. There's no way to be sure unless your phone is open source.

Nobody has posted on this yet, but even iPhone, Nokia, and Blackberry phones; not to mention Android phones, get "Carrier IQ" in their stock ROMs: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-rootkit-of-all-evil-ciq/

Sprint (and Boost Mobile) got RIM to make one for them recently, the Blackberry Style, but the gadget blogs were too busy laughing at the fact that it was a clamshell to notice it was one of RIM's better phones. (As opposed to the Pearl Flip, which like all Pearls, was a piece of garbage.) It's end-of-lifed at Sprint already, though Boost Mobile, a prepaid subsidiary, still has some in stock.

By the year 6,000 in the Jewish calendar, and "today if you repent"; though of course "world ending" is a misnomer. :-)

No, because these are local exploits, which aren't as big a deal as a remote exploit for a server. They are enough to root an Android phone though. :-)

I hate to inform you of this, but local root exploits are very common in the Linux kernel. How else do you think Android phones get rooted? They have to either via Linux kernel exploits, or Android exploits, and due to the well-known nature of the former, it's usually those when available. (They usually are.)

In Great Britain, T-Mobile has only a 500MB data plan for new customers (originally *all* customers, but the backlash was too great). They have an ad campaign now saying "don't view video or download files, save that for your computer at home".

Several DOS emulators are available for Windows Mobile. Here's a thread about it on XDA. XDA Forums by the way is a great resource for both Windows Mobile and Android device hacking. (Especially HTC devices, but they support some other popular phones too.)
