It certainly isn't so easy to control what/when the sound is played, and have fast-forward / rewind etc than it is with flash.
You can stream MPEG or Quicktime, but that requires another plugin which is less popular than flash.
HTML 5 will be around eventually, flash is here now.
To an extent I agree with you about streaming flash, but if you are visiting iPlayer or YouTube, then you are going there specifically to watch streaming video.
It's certainly not as fast as HFS+, probably about 1/4 of the speed. I don't think zfs is a native filesystem yet, though it is planned for a future version.
I have options for two different phone cables going to my house - BT and Virgin Media. I use the BT cable, but I don't actually pay any money to BT. My telephone service is supplied by Southern Electric, and my internet service is supplied by Eclipse.
I don't get anything like 320mbs with my USB Hard Drives. I have one drive which I can plug into 480mbs USB or 400mbs Firewire, and it is massively faster on Firewire.
It would be useful for looking at products once you find them on the web page, but yes, pushing your virtual trolley round one of these to pick up your shopping is taking things too far.
That's pretty cheap compared to the £97.86 Currys charge here for a 2m HDMI cable. The strange price is due to a recent reduction in sales tax, it used to be £99.99.
In Britain you can make a payment to pretty much any account, except for some savings accounts, by BACS, provided you know the sort code and account number. And pretty much any bank with an online banking service will let you do this online.
You can make payments internationally using SWIFT if you have the IBAN number. Generally you can't do this online because most of the phising attacks come from other countries, and most people don't make international payments as a matter of course.
I pay my bills manually for the same reason that you do, but I do pay some of them online by BACS rather than post a cheque because there is less chance of the payment going missing or being delayed.
I live in England, so some of the terms used are a bit different to what you have in your posting.

The LED tail lights I see in Europe mostly do their dimming by lighting only about 1/2 or 1/3 of them when moving and all of them when breaking.
That seems a much cheaper and more effective way of doing things than PWM.
Water vapour is generally considered to be a greenhouse gas, ie it makes the planet warmer than it would otherwise be.
It isn't as much of a problem as CO2 or methane only because it doesn't stay in the atmosphere for long.

Sound and video for starters.
And that's what iPlayer does.
I'd much rather have a single place for all updates - like in most Linux Distros, than have each program doing its own update checking.
Having ie's updates in windowsupdate.microsoft.com is a good start.
No it's because people here mostly get killed with knifes rather than guns.

Yes, but I don't think any of them run OSX.
Apple has had airport for a very long time now.
Privately owned toll roads do exist.

The Huawei modem, used by most GSM networks (ie everyone outside the US and Canada) works out of the box in most modern linux distros.

Such a program already exists.

You can type the brackets for <tags> by using the html codes such as < and >.
Yes. I think Iceland wins the prize for that.
In Britain, which is probably still the largest cheque using country in Europe, grocery stores stopped accepting cheques about a year ago.

But the richest people tend not to work for someone else.
Steve Jobs has $1 of earned income, and the rest is capital gains income. That is not untypical for rich people.
And for anyone in Britain who can't see it - I get a 404, try these links

I think the ISPs are complaining that their customers are using the internet connection they paid for to watch youtube videos.
But then, if it wasn't for things like youtube, most people would be happy to stay on dial-up.
