Among other things, the computed menu is kept there [07:54] Besogon: but I don't understand what you mean by "big knot", maybe you could make a screenshot?

[17:55] thanks charlie!! => [17:55] !terminal [17:55] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[18:12] a ok thanks anyway =] [19:24] is there a way to quickly tile three of the windows on my screen so they each get the same amount of screenspace? [19:25] I don't know how to do it quickly, but you could resize each window to fit in 1/3 of the screen [19:26] of course, but i want to do it quickly, like the tile feature in winxp or somesuch [19:26] just ctrl+click some stuff on the taskbar, right click and select tile. couldn't be easier [19:27] I think windows has that. Xfce does not. [19:27] i know windows has that. and i use it a lot on the windows box at work. really helps productivity [19:27] TheSheep you there ? [19:28] bolt: once you resize the windows, they should open to that size [19:35] Hello. I somehow cannot find this browsing the wiki: what are the system requirements for installing/running xubuntu? Specifically regarding RAM. [19:36] http://xubuntu.org/get [19:37] Ah, thanks! [19:37] You are welcome [19:42] gah. i can't believe xfwm doesn't have support for tiling windows [19:43] bug report time? [21:13] I was wondering if there is a specific way I'm supposed to add the 'xfce4-cpufreq-plugin' to my panel? None of the settings I make seem to take effect and I have to set my cpufreq manually via `cpufreq-set`. Thanks [21:34] http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0217092samsung1.html [21:39] wow. Suspension, I could see. Phone confiscated, yes. Arrested, criminal record and having to post bail? That is just sad. [21:40] "only in america..." ;) [21:41] heh. I suppose so. [21:42] so be fair, 'disorderly' conduct is vague. If she was acting out physically and causing a large scene and subsequently had to be restrained and such, perhaps. But I doubt that was the case. [21:43] Something is wrong with the arrest report: w/m is white male, born in 1957! A little old for high school, too [21:43] Only too old by a few years ;) [21:44] and Thomas is usually a guy's name [21:44] and so is Gregory [21:50] That's what I thought, too [21:53] Thomas Gregory Swittel is the name of the teacher who made the initial complaint. [21:53] ah-ha. I guess that makes sense. [21:54] the report implies she got in trouble before === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey [23:42] hi
