Perhaps have different types of signal, so one disables the ringer but leaves vibrate on, one forces the backlight to turn off (So no glare), one disables the camera (good for schools) etc.
Obvious solution? A 'quiet area' signal. If a phone recieves such a signal (Which can come from a low-power transmitter in places such as theatres and cinema) then it automatically switches to vibrate.

Obviously these would only be 'hints' to the phone and in special cases, such as on-call surgeons, they could be disabled but for the majority of users they would provide a hassle-free way of making sure their phone was - if not off (because being unavailable is not an option for some people) - at least courteous.
Netscape is basically a Firefox core, with an IE rendering engine taped on the side as an option, merged with half the Mozilla source tree of useless gadgets, a webmail reader, some kind of spyware detector, and a new theme.
It only exists on my machine to test sites on, though I must say it didn't cause my machine to totally fail. Perhaps it just didn't play nice with something else pre-installed?
The keywords is fairly unnecessary when you give the new search a whirl. It searches the tags, titles and content of all your favourites (And history, just to be useful).
I can, however, see your point in that not being able to type "sldot" and arrive here after that's what you were used to is a bit awkward. That and the bookmarks are the only major stumbling block I found when getting used to Flock this morning.
Skype has a nice swathe of privacy options for its voice calls. It also supports filtering for a SkypeIn number if you have one, so it only rings if the person is a 'known number' (ie on your contacts list) and everyone else is shoved to voicemail.
I haven't seen options like this on any other VoIP service with a public phone number, anybody suggest any?
It's opt-in only. If you haven't explicitly said "I want to help classify things" then all you get is the signatures. Plus, afaik, the 'community' signatures only stop the software from running (And provide a user prompt, which doesn't feed back to the network). It needs an MS analyst signature to confirm it as spyware and automatically nuke it.
If performance of PHP is absolutely critical, you can use one of the Zend packages to pseudo-compile your code. From what I've seen there is a noticeable improvement on any script which does anything above 'light' work.
It's open in the sense that things move in and out, but the body usually deals with those to try maintain a state (Within given tolerances). If we didn't, then there's no explanation for why we get rid of waste products. Or sweat. Or vomit.
No, although AV/Spyware would be ones that use it. I was thinking more a co-processor for those things which sit around doing nothing but waste cycles, but which actually have a use. Update daemons, sync tools for PDAs, network monitors, backup and encryption tools etc.
I would say it's more a combination of common sense and reading ability. It's like the families of people who ignore "DANGER OF DEATH 20,000V" signs on substations then complain that more could have been done. Of course, the 9ft fence with barbed wire on the top wasn't a deterrent.
Walking into an area with operating, unguarded machines is a bad idea be they belt sanders or hydraulic lifting arms. There would almost certainly have been a warning sign, so it's really the guy's own fault for not following procedures.
You don't need AI to work out that you're going to hit a human, until the plant machinery can perform unexpected tasks to make a job more efficient. As long as they follow a strictly controlled pattern, they are only a threat to foolish people.
But they still have an agreement covering it. A peering agreement basically says "We will shift any packets either way for you", and if one ISP goes "We don't want to peer" then Google just disconnects them.
Their clients will still be able to reach Google via. the rest of the network (Out from the ISP, and back in to Google elsewhere), but the ISP will then have to pay for that additional bandwith out to a backbone or another ISP to get hold of what they used to have an agreement to get 'free'.
Some would say that for a drug to have no side-effects it would need to counteract effects in every single biochemical process. The body works on what is basically a state of equilibria, and if a drug changes one of those (Even to try return the body to a 'normal' state, which many do) then there's going to be overcompensation from other internal effects which are also trying to correct the situation.
Yes, the body on its own may not be the quickest method. It may not even succeed, but drugs of any form basically alter levels of chemicals. And the body will always respond.
Is it worth having a core just to do background tasks like this?
Since multicore systems are starting to take off, perhaps there should be a method for applications to flag themselves as 'supporting', and then have a seperate lower power core dedicated to 'supporting' applications such as AV, system monitors etc?
The trouble with your argument is that Google do pay for it. They pay for their connection to 'the net' on the assumption that, within reasonable limits, their packets work as expected.
On the other end is someone else paying for their connection to 'the net' on the assumption that, within reasonable limits, their packets work as expected.
The internet is a utility, much as water or electricity is. What prioritising does is roughly equivalent to only providing water if it originated from clouds which formed over the Atlantic, and delaying water from the Pacific. Or possibly providing electricity from the grid (UK here, so work with me) only if it came from purely green methods whereas electricity from coal stations is held back. I expect water to be water, electricity to be electricity, and packets to be packets. I'm sure Google think the same.
Windows: Hit F1 and get context relevant help instantly; then you can even click on related terms, search the help manual for that software, or use a convenient hierachical menu.
I've never found a use for help in OS X, since I've never been a power user for it and everything is sensibly labelled.
As the length of a conversation increases, the chances of someone making a comparison to Microsoft in the hope of getting "+1 Insightful" approaches 1.

Screw that. Get a tricolour LED behind every key, make the keycaps a tad more translucent, and tie it into iTunes. Throbbing keyboard visualiser.
The UK has been doing this for some years now. Sainsburies, Asda (Owned by WalMart) and Tesco all offer to-door deliveries.

No, because it's not a speech quotation (" ") but instead a referencing quotation (' '). You put the full stop inside for speech, as in:
I said "Learn your grammar rules."
But his usage for a referencing quotation (Denoted by single quotes) makes it fine, for example:
Many people would call this post 'anal retentive'.

Everyone knows that 8+3/4" floppies are far superior to the puny 3+1/2" ones.
DeviantArt is for homemade hentai, Flickr is for photographs.
Photographs on Flickr do not need to be art, and art on DA doesn't have to be photographs.

How is the States for real ales, instead of just lagers? I've heard you can get hold of some imported in specialist stores.
It's also the home of BT's biggest datacentre (And one not-biggest BT datacentre).
