The reference to "Number Five" that I made was, indeed, to the Short Circuit
movie(s) that my kids watched when they were quite young. The movie I
remembered with the bad guy operating a big knife switch to electrocute someone
on the "other" end of the phone connection was an after-school TV serial I used
to watch back in the mid-'50's. It's still not quite sending "lethal
force" to
nail a hacker over the internet, but you get the picture ...

I don't believe he's talking about "Short Circuit"
