Decades? I hardly see any connection with that kind of time between his exposure and the development of that.

It just sounds like you don't know how to use OSX. I've never had issues with the same kind of setup you've described.

I can't see the problem with this. Phone carriers, internet carriers too since many seem to be doing both, should be dumb pipes. There's no dark side to that.

To be quite frank, many of us don't to have all our music digitized. Your computer gets fried from a serious power surge and it's all gone. It happened to me once and no amount of analyzing or voodoo could resurrect it. My tables? they kept on turning but that was ages ago. I have an iPod docked to a great system right now and the quality is FAR beyond vinyl - however, there are some albums I haven't found digitally, or care to take the time to convert. Old habits are hard to break, but as long as people still press records for bands of my own taste, who am I to argue?

you never need flash with the appropriate plugins such as "click to plugin" always loading the video directly in a similar manner to direct video embedding does. The only benefit to flash is for sites like youtube that have and utilize flash advertisements before videos.

Exactly. I uninstalled flash/java/silverlight/etc plugins all the time for people and they praise me for how fast everything loads now.

Dont' forget request policy.

Any network that will allow you to plug in a device and not filter out rogue routers like this obviously aren't staffed properly or set up their services properly.

This is ridiculous. You can manage that amount of iOS devices with a single account and using the iPhone configuration utility can push settings and security policies to the phones themselves. You haven't done your research as this is a simple matter to read up on apple's own website. I know this b/c we use it here at work!
