Code:

apt-get -moo
The result should speak for itself.

Sorry, I misspelled.
You don't put a '-' before the moo.

Excellent thread :) Thanks

apt-get moo has to be my fave so far (entirely useless but cool and amusing!)

so take your own pick...your phone, your security, your choice!! :)

Hi,

this doesn't work for me as you describe it. The files are not indexed by the tracker but they appear in the File Manager. What could i have done wrong?

I'm not 100% on this; but in Browser, whilst holding the button "down" to scroll a page, if you press Ctrl and then press the Blue arrow, it speeds up the scrolling speed.

Backspace key always takes you to previous page in one tap. There is no double and no history with backspace.

Just tried this, it seems to shoot me right to the start/end of the page - which in itself is really useful.
This may be because I have Function Up and Function Down remapped to Home and End, so I'm essentially getting Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End functionality.
