little faith in the ability of the average user to act in a non

There simply aren't enough support resources to protect the masses
from themselves.
you absolutely kill me. this is classic stuff - thanks.
The process life cycle for applications was changed significantly in
2.2. You simply cannot use task killer any longer. If you use task
killer, things keep 'coming back' because you are essentially calling
restart for the application and chewing battery in the process while
it re-initializes itself over and over
thanks for the best explanation i've read on killing tasks. the alleged
experts on the forums insist they're right but provide little in the way
of explanation.
otoh, programs tend to be more responsive after killing stuff.
and on the third hand, what i'm trying to accomplish is having programs
start only when i start them. i don't feel it an unreasonable request
to not have apps starting themselves up randomly without permission.
signed up for the online android dev app but haven't gotten there yet.
