Socket Adapter Brings Pentium M to Desktop
EconolineCrush writes "Intel's Pentium M processor is widely regarded as the company's most compelling chip, and although desktop versions of it won't be available until next year, a new adapter from Asus allows users to run a Pentium M on existing Socket 478 motherboards. When coupled with a compatible motherboard, the CT-479 adapter is much cheaper than existing Pentium M desktop platforms, and also offers better performance by allowing the processor access to dual-channel memory configurations. Considering the Pentium M's frugal power consumption and great clock-for-clock performance, this could be an interesting upgrade for those looking for a low-noise system."
eh eh eeeeehh
I am interupting this regularly scheduled Slashdot thread to announce that the Family Guy movie, Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, has officially been leaked onto BitTorrent. This is not a test. I repeat, this is not a test.

This note seeks to establish through facts that Islam is an evil faith. Also
the note seeks to educate the Western reader, who has not been actively
exposed to Islam to understand Islam correctly. I have also highlighted the
action that is needed from the leaders and citizens of the World to fight
Islam and Muslims.
(Islam is organized on three pillars - (1) Koran (2) Hadis and (3) Shariah.
Koran is organized in terms of Chapters further divided into Suras small
paras. Another fundamental pillar of Islam is the Sunnah (Hadis) which refer
to accounts of Mohammed's life - kind of biography cum diary of how Mohammed
handled various situations including how he prayed, how he ate etc. It is
specific enough to the extent of how he went to toilet, what he muttered
then etc. Hadis is important and according to many remains a weakness of
Islam in view of the idealization of Mohammed's behavior by the orthodoxy
and the efforts by every believing Muslim to approach that ideal; orthodoxy
uses Hadis and Koran as tools to tie down ordinary Muslims to a ritualized
life. the third pillar of Muslim is the Shariah or the Islamic Law which too
has its origin in the Koran and the Hadis: Shariah refers to the Islamic
Jurisprudence - voluminous texts that Islamic scholars have put together; It
encompasses an entire gamut of issues including analyzing issues such as
depth of beard a person can have, the level to which Penis can into vagina
and the like!)
There are people who mention that Islam is a tolerant religion. These people
also mention that there are enough Suras which speak of tolerance towards
people of other religions.
Credible commentators on Islam have maintained for long that these Suras
which indicate tolerance occurred to Mohammed at a time when he was
persecuted by the Qureshi clan and when Mohammed was politically and
militarily weak. (Hence these commentators maintain that Allah as
conceptualized by Mohammed was to serve Mohammed himself). These
commentators have opined that Islam at best permits compassion and peace..
only to its members-Muslims
These commentators highlight that once Mohammed enconsced himself at Medina,
and once he became politically powerful, the Suras (The later Suras)towards
others become distinctly intolerant and menacing towards non-Muslims.
(Prayer towards Jerusalem later on being shifted to Mecca is another example
they quote to substantiate the allegation of changes Mohammed made!
Jerusalem was to be the original center of Islam in deference to Jewish
beliefs). These critics also mention that Islam should be judged primarily
by the behavior of Muslims towards those belonging to other religious
denominations.
The Supporters of Islamic fundamentalism and intolerance, the majority
Muslims agree with these commentators maintaining that the older Suras were
strategic Suras, just for Mohammed to gather time and strength and to
prevent Islam's Persecution and possible destruction by powerful Quresh.
(Incidentally, Muslims also similarly justify comatose Islamic ritualistic
behavior such as monitoring of the length of beard, inferior status of
women, Purdah etc. as being in consonance with not only the words of Koran
but also the spirit of Koran)
I do hope that Muslims accept that Islam is intolerant towards other people
and that Islam lacks the flexibility of making adjustments with life, as
human mind and the nature as mankind and nature continue their relentless
march across the frontiers of science, psychology, jurisprudence and
religion. Also Muslims should note that ISLAM lacks the dynamism to
accommodate change and development active laws of nature. Islam remains
stuck in medieval tribal Arab mindset.
Any Muslim who make a sincere attempt to find out the truth will reach the
following conclusions:
Majority of Muslim nations driven by ORTHODOXY have accepted/or practice the
intolerance
