Hello Friend I have a doubt about "How Did Richard Stallman React for the following??"

2. Suppose Richard Stallman is attending an International Conference in FreeSoftware and Free Society , You see, all the talk are about Freedom, and Freesoftware. My question is that, a speaker presenting his freesoftware presentation in MICROSOFT POWERPOINT, How will he react???

3. At last Richard Stallman walking around the conference hall of International Conference in FreeSoftware and Free Society, He saw a Noticeboard which shows “SPEAKERS ATTERNTION PLEASE !! DON'T USE THE WORD PPT FOR YOUR PRESENTATION!! Then How will he react??

Some of My friend asked me, how they can clear history from ubuntu movie players, I don't know whay they need it. Any way I will tell you the secret of history clearing.

Almost all of the applications in Gnome store their history in the same place, and it can be cleared by clearing the recent documents on the Gnome menu.

Go to the Menu bar
Places --> Recent Documents --> Clear Recent Documents

You will get a confirmation windows then press clear

Of course we did, and now the list is gone from Movie Player
