If Android was instead an OS written in Assembly, I would probably be able to compute trajectories for satellites, control space ships, interpret telemeter data and possibly have a local AI that is sufficiently powerful to be able to run a small country - in 2 words, rocket science - on my S4.
But Android is a software developed by humans with the purpose of being useful and practical for as many people as possible.

I've seen Nexus 5 at a colleague of mine. I don't like how it looks, plus you'd think because of its thickness it would have more performance and battery life but that's not the case. Installing a fresh android(or cyanogen) on this one is just a matter of breaking the warranty, which I'm not sure of how it works yet. What is Blue Point?

not really. apps+OS. This is something you can change though. [EDIT] I think it has a different "System Storage" that is 9 GB out of which 1.84GB is used by the OS and currently installed apps. The other 8-9GB are the "general purpose" ones I guess.

Never mind all the crazy cool stuff it comes packed with, I just stare at the screen absent minded. The colors and the contrasts are out of this world.
I installed Shuttle and it's indeed awesome through its simplicity. Probably gonna keep it.
Can you recommend me a memory card(16GB or 32GB) that strikes a balance between quality/price/battery consumption? I know that the higher performance ones can drain the battery faster. I need a memory card because the device has 16GB, but I can only use about 8GB because of its custom Samsung apps. I'm also afraid to install a clean Android or Cyanogen mod, I could void the warranty or something.

I will check this out later, I'm at work now. If it's interesting perhaps I will invest some money in buying a couple of cells from dx.com or some site that sells them cheaply.

In the ancient mythology of TWHL it said that DiscoStu got so mad at the heart warming cats that he threw them in the sky. It is now known as the constellation of Lyssa, the embraced kitties in a heart shape.

I have a GeForce 4 on a Pentium 2 lol.(I used to play Counterstrike in multiplayer on this, oh what pain...) The good stuff that comes with a newer graphics cards isn't only gaming. It has built-in HDMI, so I don't have to complicate myself with DVI-to-HDMI connectors when trying to plug the computer in a TV. It also has some weird "display-port" connector, but what the heck do you use that for? The hardware acceleration on youtube actually works every time now. Rendering and editing in hardware-accelerated programs is faster!
The power consumption of the PC also dropped from ~90W to ~55W in idle.
I was just saying Crysis as the good old joke, but I can enjoy a lot of newer games on the bigger screen, games that would only run on my Nvidia 650m 1600x900 laptop. And the older ones run fluently as fuck.
And this isn't even mid-range, I believe it's the higher point of entry-level cards.

That looks indeed cool. Engineering ftw!
My first encounter with the term "Engineer" was when I had to build the annoying engineer houses in Caesar III to prevent the building from collapsing :)).
If computers attracted women as cars do man...
Airplanes ftw?
I want to hear you say "We're gonna have Burgers for lunch mate!" in a voice as Scottish as possible.
Then switch to a German accent.

Your old phone is just a small collateral victim.
Try Cyanogen instead.
Is there any "NOT" gate in GoldSource? Because if yes, you could build a NAND. And NAND gates are a basis for everything.
[EDIT] People making weird noises at 0:15
Even my windows(real windows) have a 16:9 aspect.

Happy birthday!

*bzzzzz-kaboom!
"Mommy, look, daddy has a new hairstyle!"
Happy birthday dude!
Where is TJB with the cake?
Welcome back ;).

Also, I will ask again, is this just for your hobby? Because the costs of maintaining a home server seeem way higher than buying something online...
