Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The hard drive which holds "S1m0ne" data is shown to be without a cover over the disk platters. Viktor (
Al Pacino) is shown to put his hands on the surface of the top platter when he inserts the hard disk into his PC. Any reasonably well informed PC user or repairman knows that a hard disk's platters are extremely sensitive to both dust and finger oils: exposing the platters to open air and finger oils would quickly render the hard disk useless. While we can't expect Viktor to know this, we can expect his scientist/supplier Hank Alano to have known this. Hank Alano should not have provided such an obviously unreliable piece of PC hardware.
