Under heavy rain, will this backpack protect all the electronics inside?

I would be using it for college in England for transporting my 15" Macbook Pro and cables/accessories, iPhone, iPod, etc...
If it rains A LOT will the bag keep its contents dry? I would hate to spoil thousands of dollars of laptop!

Does it stand up on its own or fall over on its face when full?

With all other backpacks I've used, once you fill it with stuff (in particular the front pocket), when you put it on the ground or other flat surface, it leans over or falls over onto the face of the pack, rather than standing up straight like the pictures show? I'm concerned that the handle on the bottom would make this problem worse.

Will a 15inch MacBook Pro Retina display fit inside the padded compartment with a Thule 15'' Sleeve ?

Just wondering if I have my MBPr in a Thule 15'' Sleeve if it will still fit inside the padded compartment in the bag? Cheers

Is there padding on the bottom of the bag?

Many backpacks offer a padded compartment that provides padding between a person's back and laptop, and between the laptop and books in the bag. Is there padding on the bottom of the bag equal to or greater than the other padding? When I set a backpack down, I want to have some assurance the end of the laptop isn't slamming into something.

What is the bottom of the pack made out of?

This is a major concern for me. The pack seems awesome itself, but this feature ultimately decides weather I purchase the pack or not. I keep on wearing out the bottom of backpacks, which is a shame because usually the rest of the pack is as good as new.
