On android phones, there are alternative keyboards you can use that are optimized for use on a capacitive touchscreen. A qwerty-keyboard with small keys on a small screen is annoying, as it requires modifier-keys or slow long-presses to switch between text, numbers and symbols. Yes, you can use auto-suggest to speed plain old text typing (such as swype), but that only works for regular text. The alternatives presents a keyboard with large keys that can have all of those at a single, speedy gesture.

My favorite is messagease. It makes optimum use of touchscreen capabilities. E.g. on a single key you can do a single tap, a swipe in 8 different directions (and back for even more options like capitalization), and things like drawing a circle clock-wise or anti-clockwise. Using a single (large) key you can input many different characters this way. Especially power users will love this. Similar to using powerful editors like vim, there's a learning curve. But once you master it, you will love every second of it. Since this is that you use very often, it is worth investing some time to learn it. And honestly, this one is not hard or frustrating to learn; there's a simple game included that will get you up to speed in a matter of weeks.

I use this keyboard to fix things on the go without being frustrated by how horrible a normal keyboard layout is when using a terminal emulator. It's even better than a physical keyboard on a smartphone. No, I do not make money off of this keyboard, it's just one of the greatest tools I've used since I mastered vim ages ago.

Except that you're more than a little likely to run into something else that you will waste time on, thereby once again avoiding the issue that is _really_ at stake here. This is fighting the symptoms of a problem, not actually tackling the problem that's apparently bothering this person.

Yeah. Imagine, if you will, that capacity will double every 1.5 to 2 years. 10 Years from now, we'll have phones that are 30+ times faster than what we have now. With that hardware, who needs PC's?

Just put the phone on a dock and use the attached screen/keyboard/mouse as your computer. PC's will go the way of the workstation for professionals and enthusiasts. That's why Microsoft is desperately clawing its way back into the mobile OS.

I second this. I've been using a VPS for the last 5 years for mail and DNS, and don't regret it for a moment.

But if you're lucky, you can run them in SLI configuration for twice the fun.

But at least you can run them in SLI mode for twice the fun.

Comparing a server idling to a car in front of a red light is seriously wrong. Servers in general tend to spend a _lot_ more time idling than cars wait for a red traffic light. There'll always be servers that _do_ fully utilize their resources, but most of them will idle a lot. So it makes perfect sense to take that as a generic guide-line.
