Is the summary a troll or just an attempt at sarcasm?
There are plenty of free filesharing sites, and 250mb is pretty paltry by their standards, not to mention the fact that Google has pretty decent standards for who it lets have an account. Given the amount of information they have on everyone, it's the last site you want to know if you're doing something illegal.
It's like being a Fireman. You just kind of show up in case something happens that needs your attention.
You look at Thomas, he gets this bad rap, essentially because he didn't show up to church on Sunday and missed the second coming (first? I don't know how the crazies are marking these things.)
Obviously, you aren't likely to miss the second(third) coming by not showing up at church, but you are going to miss more everyday revelations.
I don't see any evidence that it drains battery. It only tells you memory usage and what apps are in memory, and it only runs when you ask it to. It's not sitting in the background constantly polling (or at least the ad-supported version isn't.) Maybe this is a 'feature' in the full version?
That's a feature, not a bug. Firefox maintains its own memory cache. If you're that desperate for memory... you should be using Opera Mini or Dillo or something.
Most android apps don't, even Google-provided software. The Exchange calendar client continuously starts up even though I don't have a calendar configured.
Granted, it doesn't chew battery, but it's a cleanness thing. They should be playing by the rules.
Actually, this is a developer sin. Pandora does in fact have a functioning quit button (alone among all the apps I have tested. And there are a variety of task killers. The lack of a built-in task killer is a really stupid design flaw in Android, but applications can quit.
Actually, I was mostly referring to SGU. SG-1 and even Atlantis, while not quite as good as Showtime, had their good points and were even superior at times. SGU is highly reminiscent of the abortive Flash Gordon remake, and almost completely unwatchable.
A "too small" programming shop is more likely to make money by open sourcing their app, holding the trademarks and asking for donations / selling support.
To do that they should make two different versions of the app. If they ask for that functionality, they need it for something.
I've read that the "read phone state/identity" that a lot of apps have is a hack to deal with knowing whether or not the user is on the phone - though it's a considerable flaw in Android's permission system if you need to know identity to know state.
Still, I don't install apps that need that permission.
I've got a brand new, incredibly innovative input method for your touchphone! Simply put the phone in your back pocket, and sit on it. Then my revolutionary new AssSwiper (TM) will translate certain butt movements into commands on your phone. Want to skip that song? Just shift your weight back and forth a few times. You'll never use your phone the same way again!
Nothing in the human genome is random. It's all been selected for survivability. 'Junk' DNA at one point served a purpose - at some point there was a random mutation which rendered it inert - but just because it's inert does not make it random. It could have become harmful, and been selected out. So you have 3 hypothetical types of DNA:
1. Inert sequences 2. Functional sequences that are beneficial to the organism. 3. Functional sequences that are damaging to the organism
The third type is removed from the genome, while a random distribution would include it.
Obviously I'm simplifying a bit, but it's clear that the genome is not random. It changes in a random fashion, but as a whole it is ordered.
If you found a scroll in a cave that contained the book of John, would you say that it came from a different source than the book of John in the Bible? That's entirely different from rearranging letters until it says what you want it to say.

Why pay for an exchange license if practically all you need is mailman?
I concur with your statement, but lack a good means of expressing my agreement.
I see your SkyDrive and raise you a Mediafire 200mb... so I did overstate in calling 250mb paltry, but it's in no way revolutionary.

Unless I guess you count .gov domains.

Why doesn't it show up on my battery usage info screen?

All of human invention is meta-simulated annealing.

I'm not to sure about the whole half life thing, but I can confirm that it does in fact make your voice go higher.
I initially read it as "Film to drop database, Web Server 0-days"

If they're going to do to Firefly what they did to Stargate, I'll pass.

The point is there hasn't been an explosive spread of Viruses on any platform. Worms are generally what spread.
To do that they should make two different versions of the app. If they ask for that functionality, they need it for something.

I think the real moral of the story is don't download a program purported to be offered by your bank over the Internet. Ever.
With modern laptops, he rarely has to leave his bed.
If I could have a computer whose display didn't use any power unless it was changing a particular pixel, that would be very valuable.
For some applications (not video, I'd guess) it might present a significant benefit over a standard screen.

The projector is mounted on the ceiling, and your laptop is on your desk. You wirelessly hook up the projector as an external monitor.
You're in a lab, and your media server is in your room. You hook up and start streaming music. The possibilities are endless.
All sorts of things Just Work so much better with ipv6.
