Something like PhotoShop in a webapp would only be useful in a world with *all* webapps singing from the same sheet, or at least with a damn good access method between them.
Whilst I can agree, if you need someone that urgently give them a phone call. If you don't need them urgently, fire off an email.
I have a lot of different things all feeding me information at once. I even use two machines, one for working and one with a seperate monitor just for keeping on top of the information flow.

In that order, unless someone uses a higher priority medium to get my attention to a lower priority medium.
My tattoo of a barcode (Durex Extra Large - don't ask) doesn't scan unless i'm lucky. Possibly because it's on the back of my neck where the skin curves - anybody got an actual product barcode tattooed on flat skin?
Our school is undergoing major construction work, including placing a rooftop garden for biology research (We're technically a specialist science college). Even better, it will be 3 stories up and an absolute bugger to vandalise.
I know OS X has some flaws and room for improvement, but it is generally held to be a better product than Windows (Although neither are perfect). For home desktop usage it's above and beyond Linux.
You can 'stay on top' in versions of Windows since 2K (I can't remember earlier, though I'm fairly confident the 9X series allowed it as well) without extensions.
If you mean being able to 'pin' any window to keep on top, I don't believe you can do this in vanilla Windows unless the application itself has implemented a 'pin' function.
Are you sure you've got the term "Tory" associated with the right parties?
Anyway, if you don't vote then don't whine. I don't give a shit why you don't vote, but if you can't make the effort to spend a few minutes every 4 years to vote then you are in no position to complain.
The thing that this seems to be missing is being able to work out what someone will do based upon the actions of others. For example, usually people entering a public toilet will be going to use aforementioned toilet. Even if the person being monitored had never used one before, the system should be able to decide that going into a public toilet logically means the person is going to use the toilet.
On the other hand, it could *also* recognise that people arriving at Kings Cross in a group carrying rucksacks and then splitting up in order to travel on the tube has been done before and resulted in a major incident (Doesn't matter what the precise details of the event were, it's all part of a pattern). From here the system could flag the whole thing for attention.
Obviously the logic required for this is yet to come, but eventually 'breaking from the norm' in order to confuse the system won't do anything because it will have been trained on thousands of others who 'broke from the norm'.
Depends on the person witnessing the rape. I have very, very well defined views on rape and should I witness it then may the God of your choice have mercy on the offender.
On the other hand, there are those who will go "Not my problem" and walk on.
I say violence is alright up to the point where it is no longer needed, ie use all the violence you want to make sure the person committing the crime (in this case, for example, rape) is no longer a threat to you, the victim or anybody else and *then* try using some of the more pacifist means. If that means hitting them with a length of 2x4 then so be it.
Once they're down (as in unconscious or unable to move) if you keep hitting them, you've gone too far. But again, if they're down and getting back up there's no advantage in being a gentleman - give them a solid whack to make it clear they should stay down.
A defibrillator is a defibrillator whether you call it a defibrillator or a heart shocky thingy. Newspapers call a defibrillator a defibrillator and not a heart shocky thingy, so why can't they call a cracker a cracker and not a hacker?
Similar to you, I've had a few drives become extremely dodgy (Deathstars mostly) and now won't use anything other than Seagate. I have *never* had a Seagate die on me.
I still think the approach of launching lots of mirrors and bolting them to a rigid bar to form a device using inferometry will be a far better approach. What's to stop us (except money) building a 10km long bar and bolting say 10 smaller telescopes to it, then launching it to a Lagrange point? Insanely high resolution (inferometry again), no atmospheric disturbance...
OMGS you suggested nuclear die die planet killing scum! [/sarcasm]
Seriously though, whilst I'm all in favour of nuclear it lacks a lot of public support.
A better idea would be to plant rooftop gardens, and hang cylindrical turbines off the sides of buildings. Cities act like big wind tunnels between tall buildings, cylindrical turbines could be used to turn this air into power for the building whilst the garden on the top helps buffer some of the pollution and generally make a nicer place.
Alternatively, make the centre of large cities pedestrian only.

The majority of vandals are the 'hard guys' who can't throw anything 3 stories high, much less aim it.
:D
I reckon it will be mostly idiot proof. And there's a chance that some of them will fall off it
The cost of an MSDN subscription is far, far less than the cost of all the products available.

At the current rate, space flights will be suspended until scientists come up with a 10x redundant carbon-nanotube space elevator.
Seconded.

Can you do this daily?
The question is, why bother running Windows on Apple hardware? OS X is generally held to be far superior.
Uhh, what?
Terrestrial analogue we have BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Five.

Yes, but remember we're talking marketing. Windows 8 sounds better than Windows 6, so they want to slot as many versions in there as possible.
I'll second that.

Jesus Christ that hurts my head to re-read...
"It looks like you want to send this email to somebody! Are you really, really, 100% absolutely certain that you're sending it to the right people?"
"Are you really sure?"
"Have you double checked?"
"Are you still sure?"
"Just a final check, you do want to send this don't you?"
And so on.
Depends if they go by the NT versions:
Windows NT4
Windows 2000 (NT5)
Windows XP (NT6)
Which would make it Windows NT7
Or by the 9X versions:
Windows 3.1
Windows 95 (4)
Windows 98 (5)
Windows ME (6)
Windows XP (7)
Which would make it Windows 8
Go back to the old ways, call it Windows 06.
