Recently I’ve seen a few ‘if browsers were girls’ analogy pictures. Usually with IE being the ugly one, opera being the forgotten one, firefox being the former hot one, and chrome being the new hot one… But I think it’s wrong. I’m not a fan of chrome, basically. This is how I see them… thanks to recent nautilus (I assume is responsible – as seen in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx) ability to view the iPhones file paths, we can try this (typing this as I go, so this is draft on-the-fly quality notes) Continue reading my experiment in custom iPhone ringtones via linux I was frustrated at the poor information available by atq (what’s that?

It’s in the code. It works. It’s nice. And it’s… not only not enabled by default, there is no clear and simple way of enabling it even if you WANTED TO.
