I am listening to an Islamic scholar's criticism of the new Afghan government. He says they must ban usury and to issue gold and silver coins banning bogus paper money. Some Islamic scholars say that Daijal (the anti-Christ) is our modern Jewish banking system rather than one person. To use that banking system system is to submit to a Jewish usury based banking system is a guarantee of failure.
Wow, they have an 'antichrist' in Islam? Shows the cult has to have some very interesting hidden origins. I tried googling 'daijal' and he seems to be traditionally depicted (there are pictures in Islam?) with one eye shut -- an insider motif almost as blatant as the hand hidden in the coat.
Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet. Do you remember gay artists more than decade ago putting a statue of Jesus in a jar and filling it with piss. A fruitcake tried that in London art gallery. A Muslim called up and explained that he was disrespecting a Muslim prophet. The exhibit was pulled.
Islam recognizes Jesus as a Jewish Messiah. Daijal is the anti-Messiah. He is Jewish. Some modern Muslims think that the anti-Christ is actually the modern banking system.
I've always heard it reveres him as a moral prophet etc. That of course would be wonderful except (1) we never hear of any mention of him in that context and (2) it brings up the old challenge -- if Jesus was valid only that far, is the rest of him insane or maybe delusional? (Not asking this, just revisiting the Christian eg fundy view -- prolly parafrazing C.S. Lewis.)
Incidentally I'm getting my very 1st taste of Windows 10 at this moment. Seems way better than I expected, tho' it's no replacement for the immortal and trustworthy Win7. I ordered an extra of my main laptop in Ebay and it came with a bootleg of 10 -- would overwrite with 7 but am SSD-only now.
The maybe-not-fixable fan is dying (noisy!) in my not-so-old laptop with Win7, and a replacement fan is pretty pricey -- about half of what I could buy the same machine (used) for from Amazion -- with a supposedly legit copy of Win10.
N.B. When I got a new desktop computer with Win10 a few years ago, some cognoscente -- maybe Rivero?; he's a computer genius, you know -- posted a list or linked to a site with a list of settings to check and/or change to minimize Win10's spying on you and ratting you out to Microsoft/Gov. Just took a few minutes; well worth it. Probably should re-check these settings occasionally.
Prolly should. Rivero's not a computer genius, but is a computer godsend for me over and over including re the then-new and -malevolent Win10. On his advice I never update Windows or Java and am feeling no pain from it (am I repeating myself again!).
Could an accumulation of dust be the fan problem? I finally had one of mine taken apart and thoro'ly cleaned recently -- prolly duck soup for you.
What model laptop do you use? Any of you out there with a P875 Satellite you don't need, let's deal.
Lenovo ThinkPad T440S. Took it apart today, cleaned the fan with rubbing likker, and replaced and reworked the foam around the edge where the fan assembly is clamped into a slot on the enclosure. Tightened several slightly loose screws inside. Re-assembled, et voilà! -- quiet as a Kirchenmaus.
Will oil the bearing if the noise comes back. But that would be an only temporary fix, as the bearing is designed and intended be operated dry, because if oiled or greased it will collect dust and gum up over time.
