If I was in charge of these things, I would enact a 'Fahrenheit 451'-style policy, except for Flathead screws instead of books. Any of the other myriad style of screws is preferable to those ancient fasteners.

Agreed. There are two things that I feel should be destroyed and replaced on sight for the betterment of humanity: flat head screws/drivers, and network hubs.

It would probably even cause a measurable increase in lifespan due to removal of a significant stress source. But I can dream...

Do you mean in the strict usage of a Ethernet repeater hub, as opposed to a switch? Where do you still encounter those dinosaurs?

Everywhere in large/old enterprises. I swear they multiply when nobody's looking, and they tend to cause massive headaches when they're plugged in by the unaware.

Hence: Kill on sight.

I see your point, but if the remaining problem to solve in our civilisation is what type of screw heads then we're doing pretty good :)
