Kubuntu not quite right for a Tablet PC

Linux is known for running well (or at least running) on older hardware and exotic platforms. I attempted to install Kubuntu Dapper Drake (6.10) on a Compaq TC1000 Tablet PC. I discovered that while Linux may install on nearly every platform, and run faster than its proprietary competition, it may not always be the best-fitting choice for every environment.

C++ Futures: Lambda Functions

Like the Lambada, only differentColumn The use of "lambda" originates from functional programming and lambda calculus, where a lambda abstraction defines an unnamed function. Lambda functions or Lambdas in C++ are one of the more interesting things to look forward to in the next C++ standard; giving us the ability to treat functions as first class objects at last; composing them inline and treating them as class objects. Up until now we've scraped by with pointers to functions, and various libraries like Boost Lambda, both of which approaches suck.

Caterpillars And Butterflies: Movements Debate Meaning Of ‘Free’ Culture

  • Intellectual Property Watch; By Monika Ermert (Posted by dcparris on Sep 22, 2006 7:58 AM CST)
  • Story Type: News Story; Groups: Community
BERLIN - A debate is ongoing between “open source” (OS) software developers and devotees to Creative Commons licenses over the right way to promote free culture. Creative Commons licenses, under which some rights are reserved, are too restrictive for some in the OS community.

[Well, I have to say, I am puzzled by Lessig's viewpoint. I don't know who killed objectivity, but freedom is freedom. There are even degrees of freedom. However, if we say that different communities can define freedom for themselves, then we may as well say that the Chinese have defined freedom for themselves, and are thus a free people. It won't make them any more free, but then that's not our definition of freedom. Likewise, Microsoft has attempted to redefine "open" - it isn't the same as ours. I don't think I care for all this Postmodern thinking. - dcparris]
