Umm…yes it can…I’ll prove it. http://twitter.com/adminian Here’s a screenshot of the error I received today while trying to change the design of my page at Twitter: I imagine this is a recent validation rule. I’ve been using Twitter since .. well … before you I bet. I’ve never had this issue. I guess I will [...]

What supposed to happen when you hit ctrl+alt+enter is that it windows the session…but it doesn’t. Here is my fix. sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager System > Prefrences > [...]
