I grew up in a conservative rural area, maybe it's different elsewhere.
This was the kind of place where the parents got mad when teachers had grade schoolers read Harry Potter.
I grew up in one of the more liberal areas of the country (New York City, Park West High School), and it was required reading for me as well.
I think that conclusion is right on. The way I see it, it's similar to using trainers or cheat codes in a single-player game. Some people (Such as myself) would love to experience the fullness and richness of a game, but just does not have 70 hours to devote to it. If cheat codes or a trainer can help me not deal with the leveling up crap and get to the story, it's fine by me. It's the story, not the process you use to get there.
Quite true. Think of load coils (To simply state it) as a massive DSL filter.
However, for standard DSL, without load coils in play, maximum distance for a pristine line would be about 25 thousand feet, depending on the end speeds you want to get. The faster the speed, the closer you have to be.
The reason why telcos don't want to plop down a DSLAM in the middle of nowhere is because it would take ages to pay off the investment. In this day and age of customers dropping their service providers just because the company truck is blue instead of their favorite shade of gray, no sane person that wants to keep their job would approve that.

That just gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Go fdisk yourself."

Yet another reason to avoid going to France! =D

Brilliant suggestion, I use the same technique myself every now and again. ;)
Silly rabbit, that'll just make the blades go supersonic and THEN some poor engineer schmuck will be in trouble for not designing the blades right! ;)
Since when do they have balls?
