Islamic University teachers, students to get laptops
2007-09-25
Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) and Smart Solutions (SS) on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide laptop computers to faculty members and students of International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) on easy installments. MCB Vice President Arshad Iqbal, SS representative Usman Umer Hayat, and IIUI President Anwar Siddiqui signed the MoU. The signing ceremony was held at the IIUI auditorium and attended by faculty members of the university. On the occasion Siddiqui said laptop computers would encourage an atmosphere of learning, as the students and faculty members would be able to work elsewhere.
Which brings up the question: Once you've got a copy of a Koran on a hard drive, what's the punishment for deleting it? Stoning? Beheading? Windows 95?

Does moving your Koran copy to the recycle bin count as a desecration if you don't actually empty the bin?

If a hard drive crashes with a copy of the Koran on it, is it a desecration when you dispose of it?

#6  Will these computers be programmed to shut themselves down 5 times a day for prayer?

Will women be allowed to use these by themselves, or will they be required to have a male chaperon present?

Will male faculty and students be allowed up to 4 of these computers, while female faculty and students are limited to 1?

#5  where does all the rubber from your tires go? seema to me there should be huge rubber drifts along the interstates....


The wear is microscopic, it blows away with the breeze from passing vehicles, it's also biodegradable, and simply becomes soil.
