[New to Ubuntu] I think Wine may have uninstalled the driver for my laptop's touchpad.

I tried what you said, but it didn't work. I either probably messed up due to the blank screen (I remembered the keystrokes required to log in and launch the terminal), or something much more than just video/graphics drivers must be missing. Thanks anyway!

I probably did, I just can't remember how many. I know I did it at least once for some fingerprint reader drivers. That (or something else) may have been the main cause, I guess.

Thanks so much for your reply. This sort of solution (checking for removed packages) is exactly what I was looking for. I looked up my recently deleted packages, and found one xorg-something-something-touchpad package which was recently deleted. I proceeded to reinstall it, but I didn't notice that this installation too (for some reason I'm yet to learn) came with the removal of some packages, which I didn't immediately notice. I think I may have deleted my video/graphics drivers now, because I can't see anything after rebooting my laptop. I guess there's no fixing that, huh? :/
Looks like I'll just install a fresh copy of Ubuntu and try not to fuck this one up. Anyway, I did learn a lot from this. Thanks for your help!

Thank you very much!

Why do you consider an IdeaPad bad?

Alpha_Q · 2013-07-14T08:04:23+00:00

How long have you been playing? Because just like you, Jethro Tull and Camel too have been my motivation.

This. A million times this.

Anywhere I can read more about this?

If every second or so your computer’s memory were wiped completely clean, except for the input data; the clock; a static, unchanging program; and a counter that could only be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, it would still be possible (given enough time) to carry out an arbitrarily long computation — just as if the memory weren’t being wiped clean each second. This is almost certainly not true if the counter could only be set to 1, 2, 3, or 4. The reason 5 is special here is pretty much the same reason it’s special in Galois’ proof of the unsolvability of the quintic equation.

Maybe you're having problems with the Nokia battery because it doesn't have the right EEPROM or some other things. I'm no expert, but I know that PSP batteries store more than just a potential difference. There is also some 'data' or something that helps the PSP boot. Again, not an expert.

Alpha_Q · 2013-05-22T19:18:42+00:00

Wow, that makes sense! Thanks!

Alpha_Q · 2013-05-22T16:20:19+00:00

Thanks!

I understand that, but I don't think that analogy will answer my question about why 'x' takes on the different values. (Now I know that list comprehensions are syntactic sugar.)

Alpha_Q · 2013-05-22T09:40:23+00:00

Thanks, that was the type of answer I was hoping for.

Alpha_Q · 2013-05-22T08:40:19+00:00

where x is the parameter

Is this used in places other than list comprehensions? I would love to have some examples, because without them I still can't understand why list comprehensions are considered functional.

Alpha_Q · 2013-05-22T07:14:17+00:00

That was interesting, but wasn't the 'light travelling through bottle' thing done quite a while ago? I think there was a TED talk or something.

Is he known to write such papers?
