500 texts * 10 words/per text average / 60 Words Per Minute = 125 minutes.
Plenty of time to eat. Regardless, 500 texts/day was a bit of an embellishment, I only do that a few times a year. I'd say my texting average is around 500/week for the most part.
That's only a problem for old farts. Most kids these days can text like fiends on numpads or touch keyboards. I personally prefer the touchscreen on my Android phone. I can push up to 60WPM on that, not much compared to the 120WPM I do on a keyboard, but still decent.

I make phone calls all the time on my iPad via Skype...
Set Starcraft II to Windowed(maximized) mode. It makes alt-tabbing work well on almost any computer.
They're both very different games.
The 500 text messages in a day will start from "Hey baby, what are you wearing right now?" and ends up with getting laid later in the night :P
60wpm is the world record for using Swype. 50wpm is manageable for mere mortals however.
You know, you could just say "Cant till 5:30"
Instead you feel the need to give the other person a bunch of useless information they don't care about.
When Swype is working correctly, it's not too bad to do. Granted, 60WPM is really pushing it since that is pretty much the world record for texting :P
50WPM isn't hard to maintain though.
No you're not alone, you should go to the local introverts club meeting.

I can go up to 500/day on certain weeks.

I live in a borough of NYC(Queens).
I pay $100/month for 50Mbps Cable service. I get the full 50Mbps 24/7 as far as I can tell(Within my usages). YMMV.
I actually pay almost twice as much now as I used to, but I get almost 10 times the speed.
Price per Mbps has most definetly dropped down. I'm paying $2/Mbps now... I used to pay $40/Mbps 6 years ago.
That's like... everything man!
Tell that to the mainframe guys.
This is /., we all know already.
Says the guy feeding the troll.
Don't foget to bring Marshmallows!
I'll get the Graham crackers.
Now, who is going to bring the Hersheys?
I doubt that. I'd say the number is significantly higher.
Let him burn the Koran, throw in a few Bibles too IMO. Let's see their true colors.
Hey, maybe across the street from that someone can start burning some American flags too! That'll show them!
There's a big difference between burning a cross in front of some person's yard and burning a cross in your own yard...
The Koran is just a book, let it burn. In fact, throw in some bibles while you're at it.
Well hey, if you RTFA you might also see that Heinlein is in the middle of interests as well for white males.
Granted I realize you RTFA already.
