He can love his son and also democracy and justice too - i.e. allow his son to go to what will surely be like a resort vacation spa that they will call "prison" (not bc he's special, just bc he's rich).

As I understand it, bc printing something on paper with ink has costs associated with it. Hey... wait a minute!? :-P

Most of the humans and other aliens there could also kill everyone there, if they wanted to - e.g. Capt. Picard, or Geordi La Forge, or Beverly Crusher. Data is a bit of an exception in that without anyone else around, he could still fly the ship on his lonesome. He could also just float around in the cold empty wastes of space for a few hundred years first, to avoid being caught by any authorities.

What stopped him wasn't some "override" - or if one existed, he demonstrated multiple times how he could also override the override - but the simple and plain fact that he did not want to. They knew him, they trusted him, they understood his motivations. And, e.g. if he ever did kill everyone, his career in Starfleet would most definitely be over. Plus, they were his friends. That is a powerful blocker:-).

I don't think that's how they work. They need an energy source first! :-D Better create an ionic gradient and try again:-P.

Um... do they have 8 of anything, ah, else?

Ngl, the second path looks more fun though - cowabunga my dudes!:-P

A corn.

I mean... maybe don't get 2.5 inches away from her face while rubbing your chest up against her shoulder?

Probably best not to club her on the head and drag her back to your cave either - at least, not without prior consent :-P.

Is this A"I"?

Especially mod tools.
