It would have to be some sort of nanotech memory or something with quantum computers - actually the idea of a quantum inseperability device has been muted by psyshics - ie a computer here communicating instatnanously with a computer on pluto (without a time delay) fast than light communications is possible. But the device would have to be launched from earth and then used on pluto with the same device on earth. Something abotu particles that once connected are always conencted at a subatomic level.

Oh dear, did someone hack into my battlecruiser? I keep telling them 'Keep the thing incompatable with laptops!', but do they listen? Nooo...

I had a MC but then it started arguing about 401k's and vacations and before I know it it uploaded itself into an experimental rocket and left. I really have to stop building those, they only get stolen or blown up.

But I'll get it! I'll get it!! I SICKED MY LAWYERS ON IT!

Whee! You can see my house! Or at least, you can see the building which stood where my block of flats now stands when this picture was taken 4 years ago.

YOu can even mouseover the map to get the exact latitude and longtitude of a particular building. I'd post my own lat & long here but I suspect some of you guys might have orbital weapons and some old catina-grudges to settle...

It's ok Dogscoff, Most Orbital Weapons specialise in Collateral damage, we'll just aim for the general neighbourhood

The KH series of satellites can deliver resolution that allows for reading of vehicle markings. Back when the cold war was all the rage, troop formations were often staged for the satellites passage. So our guys looked to see if the soldiers had their boots laced up.
