It was going to take at least a little bit of effort since I know had multiple partitions on the drive which would need to be removed. I first went to my default disk utility, GParted.

Facebook isi face un facelift

Setarile de securitate ale Facebook au parte de un facelift de astazi, 25 august. Reteaua de socializare si-a anuntat planurile pentru introducerea de noi schimbari, intr-o incercare de a oferi utilizatorilor aceleasi optiuni ale Google +. In prezent, nu poti eticheta (tag) o persoana intr-o poza decat daca sunteti prieteni, insa pe baza solicitarilor facute de utilizatori, acest lucru va fi posibil.
