The Social Security Administration had on record that my mother and I were married. Took a couple years to prove that we were not married. That I was married to my wife (who is not my mother) and that my mother was married to my father (who was not me).
In my job I will end up exposed to parts of medical records or other confidential medical information covered by HIPAA regulations. If I have a phone with a camera, many agencies will require I surrender it but if I have one without I'm fine to carry. AFAIK the law says nothing about taking peoples phones, but every agency either thinks they know what the law says or paid way too much money to someone to tell them what they think it means (mostly wrong).
Some of us need simple devices so we are reachable while in areas that allow for no pictures.
After you create the snapshot you then need to make a clone based off of the snapshot. In Solaris (and I assume the BSD/Linux ports) ZFS clones are writable.
Also there is the demoscene (several decades of stuff now I think). Not all of it is great but there is enough that everyone can find something they like.
With the writers strike still on, I know some "Reality" producers will be able to step in and help with this.
Next on FOX! "Room full of knives and a sack of money". We may have to tighten up the title a bit but thats what happens when you let Leonard of Quirm name things.
As far as burlary goes, two words. Castle Doctorine. If someone breaks into your home, you can kill them, it is considered Justifiable Homicide.
Is burlary some move in chess (possibly a retaliation to castling)?
The concept of being able to kill anyone who enters your house is not legal everywhere. I hope no one takes your word for it. Even if you live in a state with a castle law, there are many rules that must be followed before you can use deadly force, and some actions (like traps) are illegal. It looks to me like at least twenty six states have laws linked on wikipedia and four are specifically listed as not having any. Before thinking you can do what you want, read the laws for where you live.
To quote from Wikipedia (I know it is not reliable)
Each state differs with respect to the specific instances in which the Castle Doctrine can be invoked, and what amount of retreat or non-deadly resistance (if any) is required before deadly force can be used.
In general, one (sometimes more) of a variety of conditions must be met before a person can legally use the Castle Doctrine:
* An intruder must be making an attempt to forcibly enter a premises uninvited
* The intruder must be acting illegally -- i.e. the Castle Doctrine does not give the right to shoot officers of the law acting in the course of their legal duties
* The occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe that the intruder intends to inflict serious bodily harm, or death, upon an occupant of the home
* The occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe that the intruder intends to commit a felony
* The occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe that the intruder intends to commit arson
* The occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe that the intruder intends to commit burglary
* The occupant(s) of the home must not have provoked or instigated an intrusion, or provoked or instigated an intruder to threaten or use deadly force
In all cases, the occupant(s) of the home must be there legally, must not be fugitives from the law, must not be using the Castle Doctrine to aid or abet another person in being a fugitive from the law, and must not use deadly force upon an officer of the law or an office of the peace while they are performing or attempting to perform their legal duties.
Note: the term "home" is used because most states only apply their Castle Doctrine to a place of residence; however, some states extend the protection to other legally-occupied places such as automobiles and places of business.
Duty-to-retreat
Some states have a "Duty-to-retreat law", which expressly imposes an obligation upon the home's occupants to retreat as far as possible and verbally announce their intent to use deadly force, before they can be legally justified in doing so to defend themselves.
Stand-your-ground
Other states have a "Stand-your-ground law", which expressly relieves the home's occupants of any duty to retreat or announce their intent to use deadly force before they can be legally justified in doing so to defend themselves. In states where Castle Law is included as a part of a larger personal-self-defense law, there may be a duty to retreat if the altercation happens in a place outside the home, even though there is no duty to retreat if the altercation happens at the home.
"Stand Your Ground" laws, sometimes called shoot-first laws by critics, are statutes that allow the use of deadly force to defend against forcible unlawful entry or attack. These bills significantly expand the boundaries of legal self-defense by eliminating a person's duty to retreat from an invader or assailant in certain cases before resorting to the use of "defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another."
Deckard didn't show enhanced strength but he sure showed enhanced ability to get slamed around by all those pumped up replicants. All that abuse and the worse he had was a few broken fingers and a lost/loose tooth.
Considering how all the replicants seemed to recognize/know him (Leon seemed to know him) I can buy that he was one of them that they grabbed and dumped Gaff's (or some other cop's) memories into.
I enjoy the multitude of opinions on this topic. It lets people talk about it and come up with way that it could or could not work.
I think the ultimate joke series was Photon! (I think they called it the adventures of stupid for the american release). The whole series is a build up to a punchline that referances an old DOS error message. Total nerd joke carried to an extreme.
Awareness of the term "sock puppet" IMO has nothing to do with being in a certain generation. I think it has more to do with what you were exposed to on-line. I came into the world in the middle of "Gen X" (early '70s) and I first saw the term "sock puppet" on usenet back in the mid '90s.

Talk about your Oedipal moments.
I want a new, 5 speed manual transmission, diesel, light pickup truck. I loved that thing. Too bad VW says thay will not be doing that ever again.
Why don't they just open a Starbucks or something.
The recording and replay of brainwave patterns reminds me a bit of the device from the above book.

The last time I installed Solaris 10 (X86 version) it did pay attention to the settings it asked for during the install.
This will never happen due to city/state wide monopoly contracts.
It's to make up for all the places that have a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks.
Waldo Farthingwaite-Jones? We do not want a "DeKalb receptor" failure situation.
Alan White from YES.

I blame my losses on tetrachromats.
You just don't hang with enough Zork players.
Oh, great. Now everyone will only seed to .9:1. Thanks.
But Roy and company all came from the Nexus 6 line didn't they?
Yes. In that version the line is "I want more life."
The father version was AFAIK just an alternate line they tried for that scene. IMO it fits better into it.
I have the theatrical version on VHS at home. It was released in 1983 and re-released in 1992 as an anniversary edition.
