My ancient 5300 laptop has nice little spring-loaded feet. You can leave them in, or pop them out if you want some keyboard tilt. Why did Apple ever drop this feature?
Dunno about OSX, but under OS8.x and 9.x, you can delete the original file and replace it with (any type of) file with exactly the same name, and the alias you had will point to the new file. And if you move the original, so long as you stay in one volume, the alias will still point to it.
In one STTNG episode,a space storm of some sort splits the Beaming signal in two, and two copies of Number One (Riker) are created. No info as to the energy debt incurred when this happened.
You're missing the point, or points. First of all, countries with little or no personal freedoms have even less luck than the USA in stopping this sort of serial killer. Second, it's the very nature of our civilization that we teach each other to live in an open society and respect one another. If not there'd be a dozen snipers on every subway platform in Manhattan. The DC sniper, like Son of Sam or the UnaBomber, is a 10-sigma event, so rare as not to be treatable or controllable by any set of political or legal conventions.

Funny you should use that analogy. There are databases of tire treads and crimelabs (CSI :-) ) take imprints of treads all the time.
