"Disconnected" POTS can still dial 911

In the USA anyhow. When your phone service is "disconnected", it isn't physically disconnected, your service is just suspended. You can dial 911 on any home phone that still has a dial tone. Although the fact that nobody seems to know this is a problem. They should put that in the VOIP documentation.
"U.S. regulators at the Federal Communications Commission should ensure that the broadcast format limits such copying so radio stations don't turn the airwaves into a giant file-sharing network, RIAA officials said."
So the RIAA doesn't want radio to become a giant sharing network? You're the ones broadcasting your signal into our airspace. You don't want to share? Turn off the transmitter.
Many (older) stand-alone DVD players cannot read CD-R media. But many of those that can't read CD-R CAN read CD-RW. I also have a homebrew tivo, and I used to use CD-RW all the time, for that reason.
My solution? Screw the DVD player. My capture machine now sits next to my TV in the living room, so I just play my (S)VCDs right from the computer.
I'll get a DVD writer when they're fast enough, and then I'll have come full circle.
How do we know that Deckard actually has been around this long? Deckard is pulled out of retirement. Perhaps this is part of the standard startup procedure for new replicants? Holden is also a blade runner. If all blade runners are replicants, then probably Deckard has been brought online to replace Holden. Another idea to muddy the waters: We don't know how the implant technology works. Are replicant memories copied or synthesized? If they are synthesized, then Deckard must be a replicant. But if they are copies, then knowledge of a person's memory does not necessarily mean they are a replicant. Deckard knows Tyrell's niece's memories, but Tyrell's niece is presumably not a replicant. And finally..
I thought the 5 or 6 replicant theory was explained in the FAQ? It's just a continuity error.
Deckard buys a bottle of booze, then fights Leon boozeless, and then drinks the booze at home. Maybe he dropped it in the fight & picked it up later? In any case, I subscribe to the theory that the question is more important than the answer. Am I human? What is human? Am I any different than the replicants that I kill?
