#1 isn't a problem
You can disable powersave mode quite easily. Assuming Windows (which I'm not using at the moment, so can't run through the steps precisely to clear up my foggy memory), right click on the desktop, choose whatever option in that menu brings up the window where you choose your screensaver on one tab, screen resolution on another tab, etc. At the bottom of the screensaver tab there's a section about power settings. There you can make it so the monitor never goes into powersave mode.
So, he *could* do that...not sure exactly why he *would* do that, though.
