Oh yeah I forgot Android is based on a Linux kernel.

Been reading about rooting my phone. The only reason for doing so would be to increase the speed of it. Is it worth it? What else can be done with a rooted phone?

I've only rooted my phones in the past so I could run a couple of apps that required it. Orbot and Titanium Backup are the only ones that spring to mind right now.

Not sure that rooting will give a speed increase on it's own, unless after you've rooted you put a custom ROM on it? I'm a big fan of CyanogenMod, if you go down that route it's definitely worth seeing if it's available for your phone.
 
In other good news the word headfuck has just been accepted into the Oxford English Dictionary.

In bad news, the word gouch, as in the opiate nod, has been refused again.
 
How is "gouch" not a word? :?

But at least the last... 50-odd years have caught up with 'em enough to have noticed that "headfuck" is a word in common parlance. I guess that means that "gouch" will make it in sometime around 2030.
 
Some dude saying some stuff.

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said:

"I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates."

His mind sees things differently than most of ours do, to our amazement, and amusement.

Here are some of his gems:

1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.

3 - Half the people you know are below average.

4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.

9 - All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.

10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend... but she left me before we met.

12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?

13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

18 - Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

19 - I intend to live forever... So far, so good.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

30 - The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

31 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

32 - The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

33 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

34 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?

My Dad is an astronomer. He and his old mate who has now sadly passed on built a small observatory. It was built with pallets filled in and had a swivel dome roof. As a kid it was amazing going in. They clubbed together to buy a huge telescope. Not much by todays standards but epic at the time. They showed me Saturn through it and you could clearly see the rings. I was amazed. I picked up a lot about astronomy from my Dad and he always reminds me when the next meteor shower or event is happening. The reason I named my Daughter after a constellation.

That's seriously cool, I've never had a chance to see anything like that but space both fascinates me and freaks me out.

edit: '28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.' is fucking enragingly true
